Zoo offers an adventurous night out in Africa

Auckland Zoo is bringing back its popular Africa Night on Sunday 20 October from 4.30pm to 9.30pm.

Africa Night gives Aucklanders a chance to go on safari to see some of Africa’s most spectacular wildlife, then enjoy an authentic African dinner - without having to leave town.

The evening is a fundraiser for the Auckland Zoo Conservation Fund and Zoological Society of Auckland to help support conservation projects and provide grants to further conservation work or studies.

Along with up-close animal experiences and a traditional South African dinner, Africa Night will also feature an auction of artworks and a talk by a guest speaker.

"This is a fantastic event that we really encourage Aucklanders to support. Everyone who comes along not only gets to experience the unique sights, sounds and tastes of Africa, they’re also directly helping to support local and international conservation projects for endangered wildlife," says the Zoo’s field conservation programmes coordinator, Peter Fraser.
