In the world's unique Pongoland ape facility, four fascinating and simultaneously highly endangered ape species live under one roof: lowland gorillas, bonobos, West African chimpanzees, and orangutans. Since its opening in 2001, the facility has been considered a special place where modern animal husbandry, scientific research, and unique encounters between humans and animals come together. Currently, 49 primates live here in five social groups.

The snow leopards at Zoo Leipzig (often referred to as Irbis or the "Ghost of the Mountains") have inhabited a nature-like Himalayan high mountain landscape since 2017. The pair Askar and Chandra live in a rocky enclosure designed as a climbing-intensive environment, offering training-intensive care and protection from summer heat. Medical training takes place, in which the male cat Askar often participates with motivation.

Zebras, giraffes, ostriches and other species live together peacefully in the Kiwara Savannah. The savannah landscape has been extended around the Kiwara Kopje, where black rhinos and cheetahs, among others, have found a new home. Not far away are the enclosures of other predators, such as the Makasi Simba lion savannah, the hyena rock, and the meerkat enclosure.

The Kiwara Savannah in Leipzig Zoo is an approximately 25,000 square meter experience world that realistically simulates African steppe landscapes. Giraffes, zebras, ostriches, and antelopes live there together. Visitors can overlook the enclosure from the Kiwara Lodge or get virtual 360-degree insights. The enclosure was designed to simulate a "natural, flat landscape" and offer the animals plenty of space. It is closely associated with the TV series "Elefant, Tiger & Co.", which regularly reports on the animals living there.

Leipzig Zoo is home to giraffes and rhinos in the Africa experience world, especially on the vast Kiwara savanna. There, giraffes live together with zebras and antelopes, while rhinos can be observed in separate areas, even in winter. A giraffe house also offers insights into the species-appropriate habitat.
