Within the woodlands of Te Popo Gardens are 37 life-sized African animal sculptures, waiting to be discovered. Start your expedition at the Zebra Café, pick up a map, then explore the 13-hectare property to locate the hand-made bronze beasts. Hidden along the paths you will find the wildebeest, rhinoceros, even a herd of elephants. Finish off your trek with a bite to eat Zebra Café.
