The African Plains has doubled the size of the Zoo and has created a savannah for some of the zoo's largest residents. In order to create the African Plains the Government gave the Zoo 13 hectares that had previously formed part of the Aras an Uachtaráin grounds. The site consists of a large lake, pasture land and mature woodland.
The African Plains is home to hippopotamuses, rhinos, chimpanzees, white-crowned mangabeys, lions, cheetahs, Marabou stork, Abyssinian ground hornbills, red river hogs and bongos. It also features a mixed-species exhibit with giraffes, ostriches, zebras and scimitar-horned oryxes.
