The player is now able to introduce his visitors to the natural environment of African animals. The game adds eight biomes, twenty new animal species, new buildings, objects, and gifts (including a desert theme pack).

Players can view the animals in their exotic habitats in Zookeeper, Zoo Guest and Photo Safari modes.
