Plus adorable fennec foxes and more
As well as all those lovely creatures, the Africa Pack adds loads of new African-themed scenery pieces with which to deck out your zoo. In the trailer below you can spot fab meerkat and fennec fox statues (as well as the fab animals themselves), cool water features, and pretty mosaics.

While the Africa Pack is paid DLC, it arrives alongside the 1.6, which is free for everyone who owns Planet Zoo. It comes with Bear Updates to let those beasts do some deep swimming, and it lets you build better habitats for them. There’s a new Timed Scenario too, which challenges you to take charge of an animal sanctuary in Central America. Check outthe full 1.6 patch notesfor more.
With each update the game receives, I grow more and more curious as to what Nate will get up to with his zoo next. He’s already discoveredan ostrich as tall as the Statue Of Liberty, and made somerather upsetting high-concept exhibitsfor his animals.
Planet Zoo’s Africa pack is outon Steamright now, priced at £8/$10/€10). The base game is alsoon Steam, and that’ll cost you £35/$45/€45.
The game’s new meerkats have made me think of 1)Meerkat Manor, a great old docu-series that followed a family of meerkats going about their lives, and 2)this songfrom the third Lion King film that I wish I could forget.
