Gorilla Trek

Venture into the jungle of Rwanda and observe gorillas in the wild – without ever leaving your seat at the Zoo!

Land by helicopter and then prepare for a virtual trek 10,000 feet up into the jungle for a live-action adventure. Observe a family of elusive and endangered mountain gorillas up-close in their natural habitat. Gorilla Trek is narrated by Tara Stoinski, PhD, President and CEO/Chief Scientific Officer of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund, Zoo Atlanta’s longtime partner in gorilla conservation.

The Great Migration

Join Emmy award-winning documentary filmmakers as they take you on an incredible journey through Africa’s Great Migration.

Witness how millions of free-roaming animals such as wildebeests, zebras and antelopes make their way through the peaks and perils of Africa’s savanna terrain, from the Maasai River in Kenya to the majestic landscape of Tanzania’s Serengeti, in search of a better life across the animal kingdom.
