🌍 Heart of Africa – Now Open - Image

Step into the brand-new Heart of Africa, a 22-acre savannah bursting with life. Included in your ticket, this vast habitat brings you face-to-face with giraffes, zebras, ostriches and over 50 other species, all roaming a spectacular landscape inspired by central Africa.

The UK’s biggest zoo habitat ever built, Heart of Africa spans 22 acres with giraffes, zebras and more roaming together in one incredible savannah experience.

🐧 Humboldt Penguin Chicks – New Arrivals This Season - Image

Chester Zoo recently welcomed ten fluffy Humboldt penguin chicks, now venturing into their pool and beginning to socialise with the adult colony. It’s one of the most adorable (and popular) sights this summer, with conservation impact too — these penguins are classed as vulnerable in the wild.

Ten baby Humboldt penguins have just hatched! Watch them take their first swims this summer at Chester Zoo.

🦆 Meet Chester Zoo’s four newly hatched maccoa ducklings - Image

In a UK first, Chester Zoo has successfully hatched four rare maccoa ducklings, a significant conservation milestone. Native to eastern and southern Africa, these striking blue-billed ducks are near-threatened, and this hatching is part of a vital breeding programme to protect the species.

A rare and threatened species bred as part of a global conservation effort.
