San Diego Zoo Safari Park has announced a new area of the park in the shape of Elephant Valley.

The project, which will be finished in 2025, is to be the biggest to date at the safari park, which is in its 50th year.

Elephant Valley will feature a two-storey lodge taking inspiration from safaris in Africa. The valley will inform, educate, and entertain guests about the practises and activities of the elephant community.

Thanks to kind-hearted donors and Denny Sandford, a longtime supporter of the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance, the Elephant Valley is to be brought to fruition.

Lisa Peterson, Executive Director of San Diego Zoo Safari Park said: “Elephant Valley will be a place where curiosity turns into discovery – where anyone from ages 1 to 100 will experience breathtaking moments of wonder in nature. Our hope is that the defining memories you make here stay with you for a lifetime.”
