Audu Bako Zoological Garden, Zoo and park in Kano State, Nigeria.
The Audu Bako Zoological Garden spans across 46 hectares, featuring exhibits of lions, elephants, monkeys, crocodiles, and numerous bird species native to Africa.
The zoological garden, established in 1972, received its name from Audu Bako, the former governor of Kano State who initiated its development as a conservation center.
The garden functions as an educational center where Nigerian students learn about wildlife conservation while connecting with their natural heritage through guided tours.
Visitors can access the zoo every day of the week, with extended hours from 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM Monday through Thursday and weekends, closing earlier at 10:00 PM on Fridays.
The facility maintains specialized breeding programs for regional species while incorporating traditional Nigerian landscaping elements throughout its extensive grounds.
