Predator Passage | Phoenix Zoo

Guests can venture to the top of a 20′ (6.1 m) accessible thematic observation tower to experience the savanna from a lion’s point of view and get a bird’s eye view of Africa Trail. Nearby, Amur leopards explore multiple elevated lookouts, and meerkats scurry through visible tunnels as guests follow their antics.
