A New Era of Wildlife Experiences at San Antonio Zoo
San Antonio Zoo has just made history by opening its largest habitat to date: the Naylor Savanna. This newly unveiled area has doubled the space for giraffes and rhinos and tripled the space for zebras, ostriches, and sitatunga. The Naylor Savanna represents a significant milestone for the zoo, offering guests an incredible way to experience wildlife up close.
A key highlight of the Naylor Savanna is the brand-new giraffe barn. This barn features multiple individual rooms for giraffes, a large family area, and a VIP encounter space. With floor-to-ceiling viewing windows, visitors can now enjoy a closer look at these gentle giants, even when they are indoors. This expansion also supports the future growth of the zoo’s giraffe herd, enhancing both visitor experiences and conservation efforts.
New Experiences: Conserfari Tours and Spekboom Lodge
San Antonio Zoo has introduced an all-new adventure: the Conserfari Tours. Sponsored by North Park Toyota and South Texas Outfitters, these safari-style tours will take guests through the savanna aboard Toyota Tundras. During the journey, visitors can feed and engage with wildlife from the vehicle, offering a once-in-a-lifetime experience. This new attraction promises to be both educational and thrilling, inspiring guests to learn more about Texas wildlife. Reservations for Conserfari Tours will be available soon at San Antonio Zoo’s website.
For those looking for a luxurious overnight stay, the zoo has unveiled Spekboom Lodge. Nestled inside the Naylor Savanna, the lodge offers stunning views and intimate wildlife encounters, including exclusive interactions with giraffes. With accommodations for four and exceptional amenities, Spekboom Lodge promises a unique blend of comfort and adventure. While the lodge will soon open for reservations, guests can join the waitlist now to secure their spot.
A Historic Investment in Wildlife Conservation
The Naylor Savanna is part of San Antonio Zoo’s ongoing commitment to wildlife conservation. Since 2014, the zoo has reinvested $120 million into its development, with the Naylor Savanna made possible by a generous $3 million donation from Susan Naylor. This expansion not only enhances the visitor experience but also supports vital educational and conservation programs for future generations.
