Lowry Park Zoo

The Lowry Park Zoo wanted to improve their African exhibit by providing more shade for guests viewing the animals and for animals viewing the guests.

Components

Challenge

Our team needed to revive the African animal enclosure while also using materials that met three criteria:

  1. Create a shelter for the animals, but the materials could not be harmful to them.
  2. Provide aesthetically pleasing shade for the guests watching the animals.
  3. Protect the integrity of the exhibit's natural look.

Strategy

amaZulu used our exclusive pressure treated, arsenic-free eucalyptus poles, imported from Africa, and a customized version of the African Thatch Reed Umbrella.

Results

The Lowry Zoo African exhibit now has shade for both guests and animals. We used a standard 16' thatch reed umbrella (non-toxic) and modified the pole and struts for the height of the giraffes. By placing the eucalyptus poles 4" apart, we created a natural shade structure for the guests and animals.

"Working with Amazulu has been a pleasure. They have been able to provide unique quality materials at fair prices and always deliver on time. Without their help, our Safari Africa and Sky Ride projects would be lacking the natural and rustic feel of real Africa."

“amaZulu, Inc. has a tremendous inventory of products to choose from and makes shopping for any type of bamboo or thatch products a painless and economical experience. They had all the projects I needed to build my Tiki Bar.  Any project that has bamboo products specified, I would highly recommend contacting the friendly folks at amaZulu, Inc.”

“amaZulu was able to provide a number of different natural looking finishes to completely redo the Tiki Bar at my waterpark. There are lots of companies out there that have a few items similar to yours but none have the wide range of choices that you offer.  If you are ever in the area come enjoy a Pina Colada on us.”

“amazulu Inc. has been a great discovery for us here at SeaWorld Orlando. Though they are a new vendor to us they understand our “theme park” urgencies. They have come through with flying colors on all the tasks we have needed their expertise with. Their attention to detail and prompt action to our needs is truly second to none.”

 “amaZulu helped us to completely redefine our waterpark and beach club.  We interviewed all the competitors and found amaZulu to be the most hands-on, knowledgeable, and service oriented.  In addition, I found the staff to be exceptionally friendly.  We will work with amaZulu again.”
