Our African garden showcases habitats throughout Africa and Madagascar including the Kopje, Ethiopian Highlands, Acacia woodland, Madagascar Forest, West African Forest, and Cape Fynbos. You’ll find cycads, Madagascar ocotillo, Moringa, aloes, baobabs, coral trees, fig trees and hundreds of other unique species. Of plant species, more than 11,000 plant species, about 89 percent of all plants on the island are found only in Madagascar. A highlight at Madagascar Forest is the elephant tree, known as the "jabily". It's native to the spiny forest of southern Madagascar, an area of considerable biodiversity that is considered one of the 200 most important ecological regions in the world.
