Aalborg Zoo - African Village

View of the enclosures that link the African Village and the savannah in Aalborg Zoo, Denmark. On this picture you can see the central building to the left, an observation-hut for visitors on the right and the tropical house for pygmy hippopotamus in the background.

The human houses in the background look nice - is the zoo in a good neighbourhood?

Just a general commentary to European Fauna´s question - without knowing the specifics of Aalborg:

We certainly do have our fare share of problems up here in the north (however, I will be politically correct and not go into details), but I think it is pretty safe to say that, so far, most or probably all of our zoos are in good neighbourhoods.

WIthout being familar with the local areas of Aalborg I can safely say that the area the zoo is situated in is a very quiet area with mostly families living there. I am not even sure if Aalborg has any dodgy parts as it is not that big a city
