Busch Gardens Tampa Bay

In spring 2008, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay will open Jungala - its newest and most ambitious park enhancement project to date. Set in the Congo area, the 4-acre attraction will invite guests to discover exotic creatures, explore a village hidden deep in the jungle and connect with the inhabitants of the lush landscape through up-close animal interactions, multi-story family play areas, rides and live entertainment.

From atop the tallest trees or beneath the jungle floor, guests will be completely immersed in the animals' world. Multi-tiered habitats allow visitors to connect with two of the world's most endangered species - Bengal tigers and orangutans. Treetop observation platforms are the perfect vantage point to watch orangutans within their family groups or resting in a specially designed tree house. Subterranean caves and underwater windows offer a clear view of tigers swimming in their temperature-controlled plunge pool, while natural bridges and bamboo screens bring guests closer to these predators than ever before.
