I have decided to divide up my choices into basic groups (nowhere near all the species I'd want, but then I would be here all night if I were to list them):

Monkeys (African monkeys are a really common part of many zoos and at the moment we've only got one)
Patas monkey
A species of mangabey (either cherry-crowned or golden-bellied)
A species of guenon (De Brazza's, Wolf's, Lowe's or L'Hoest's would be my top choices)
Gelada
A colobus (either mantled geureza or Angolan colobus)

Basic zoo species (the sort of African animals a small zoo or one that is just starting out may have)
Cape crested porcupine
Grey crowned crane
Serval
Helmeted guineafowl
African spurred tortoise

The oddballs (unusual animals that could really make an African section feel more unique, including lots of species suitable for mixed exhibits)
South African springhare
Southern ground hornbill
Kori bustard
Nandinia (also called the African palm civet, but it is not related to the true civets at all and is in a group of its own)
Malagasy giant rat

The diversity (species quite similar to others in the game, but would mean that more choices could be made)
Black rhinoceros
Northern giraffe (combines two of the three most commonly-kept giraffe subspecies in European zoos, the Rothschild's and Kordofan giraffes)
Banded mongoose
Western slender-snouted crocodile
Bat-eared fox

The unique (animals with nothing else quite like them currently in the game)
Red river hog
Great white pelican
Gerenuk

The domestics (I have chosen two species of domestic animals that are often kept in zoos and sometimes even mixed in with wild species)
Dromedary camel
Ankole cattle

The exhibits (I have chosen ten exhibit species I would like to see)
Red spitting cobra
Royal python
Eastern green mamba
Turquoise dwarf gecko
Mediterranean chameleon
Fire skink
Pancake tortoise
Atlantic mudskipper
Garden fruit chafer (only if there were the option to keep hundreds of them together without issue, just as lots of real zoos do)
Seychelles giant millipede
