Episode 70
Though I never thought the day would come, Zoo Tours now features the world's most famous zoo! Beginning with a top tier, state of the art, groundbreaking habitat the world couldn't wait to see. In Summer of 2017, the San Diego Zoo began the world's first permanent 'concert residency' called the Africa Rocks. With $68 million, the zoo invited bands from the savannah to the sea to perform at six separate venues. Penguins, lemurs, leopards, baboons and more make the headliners with supporting acts such as sharks, ibexes, and hyraxes. The setlist was specifically chosen for one reason, to give Africa's forgotten or lesser known creatures the spotlight as opposed to the typical giraffes, elephants or lions. Get in line to see the mother of mankind's greatest show and enjoy the longest Zoo Tour to date.
