African safari at Auckland Zoo

Go on an African safari at the Auckland Zoo.

From September 18 to October 3, visitors can grab a trail map, solve the clues and join the Paddle Pop lion on a trek through Pridelands to claim a special treat.

A bonus is the sight of the cubs out playing at Lion Hill with the adult lions. There'll be lots of giveaways and special prizes each day.

In the first week there's also the chance to meet the famous SpongeBob Squarepants.
