Burgers' Rimba

Burgers' Rimba is an indoor tropical rainforest hall within Royal Burgers' Zoo that combines natural vegetation with open-air sections throughout. The complex houses multiple animal species including tigers and primates in spacious zones designed to mimic their native environments.

The hall was built during the 1980s as part of a major zoo renovation effort. This project represented a turning point in zoo design and shaped the facility's development for decades to come.

The exhibit demonstrates Dutch expertise in zoological architecture through the integration of advanced air cushion technology instead of traditional glass canopies.

Your visit begins at an entrance designed like African safari huts that helps you get oriented. Clear pathways guide you through different viewing areas, making it easy to explore the entire complex at your own pace.

The roof uses innovative air cushion technology instead of traditional glass panels, creating ideal growth conditions for plants. This system allows natural light while simultaneously controlling temperature and humidity at optimal levels.
