Inaugurated in 1995 with imported elephants from South Africa, the elephant house and the outdoor area are a major attraction for visitors. In 2005, "Bongi" was born there as the first female elephant. By now there were so many little elephants that "Numbi" and her children moved to the Schönbrunn Zoo in Vienna and "Punda" moved to the Beekse Bergen Safari Park in Holland. The elephants are kept in direct contact and daily washing routines and walks around the area are part of the program. Visitors can watch from a specially constructed grandstand.
