Hayo Zookeepers!

We've been digging around searching for our next location to visit in Planet Zoo, and may have found a few favourites to bring to the roster along the way! This is a mighty continent that we are very excited to make the next stop on our journey together.


We're very excited to announce the Planet Zoo: Africa Pack, available to purchase and download alongside free Update 1.6 on 22 June, 2021!

Are you ready to hear which animals you will get to meet in this pack? Get ready to welcome the sociable Meerkat, endearing Fennec Fox, amazing African Penguin, striking Southern White Rhinoceros and the remarkable Sacred Scarab Beetle to your Zoo! Each of these unique creatures will present you with a different challenge to look after them, from swimming with the African Penguin to space fit for a Southern White Rhinoceros and a new behaviour introduced by the Meerkat; digging! With new arrivals come new challenges, and we can't wait to see what kind of habitats you create to meet their needs. Don't forget to use the knowledge from the Zoopedia to help you out!

You'll also be able to take on a brand new Timed Scenario set in a stunning Oasis. With limited power and infrastructure, it will be your job to turn this Oasis into a paradise for guests and animals alike. Do you think you've got what it takes to make this zoo into a success? We certainly do! You've got this zookeepers!

As promised for all the builders out there, this pack will contain just over 180 incredible African themed scenery pieces, including some pieces in the iconic African 'Moorish' architectural style! You'll find whole buildings, new paths and more to play with (like this amazing statue below!) and build your dream new habitat's for these new African animals.

The fennec fox looks so good and absolutely adorable!!! 😍 Thanks for bringing them to Planet Zoo, they’re one of my favourites. Super excited for all of the animals in this pack!

I wish we had a “general zoo items” build concept, to be honest I won’t use much of this personally, it’s too themed and not my style. I hope people who have wanted more Moroccan or Egyptian pieces are happy though :).
 
I'm not really excited for this pack, I think it is a missed opportunity for an animal pack, as we would have very few species that really occur in North Africa.
But I'm happy with the species choice, a lot of fan favorites were included. The meerkats look absolutely fantastic, can't wait to see the digging behavior in more details.
 
Splendid work everyone!

I get legit Arabian Nights vibe from this, I'm super nostalgic of my old ZT2 days because of this. I think the animals themselves are great choices, and perfect additions to any zoo. The majority are found in zoos all over the world, so props to that! 🙌
 
The chosen species are a fantastic selection for an Africa pack. Really happy to see those four habitat animals make their way into the game at last! (Although I do really hope that this wasn't the last time we visit Africa, as I'd still love to see animals like the serval, the secretary bird, some baboon, the red river hog or another antelope in game.) Other than that, I really can't wait to see the scenery pieces for this pack - and the meerkats will have digging animations! Yay! :love:
