Gorilla Volcano, Animal habitat in Pairi Daiza, Belgium.
The Gorilla Volcano spans 5,000 square meters with three islands and two volcanic structures within the Pairi Daiza animal park in Brugelette.
The Gorilla Volcano opened in 2023 as an 11 million euro investment project to create a specialized environment for endangered Central African primates.
The facility represents a commitment to conservation of gorillas, whose population decreased from 100,000 to critical levels in just two decades.
Visitors can observe the gorillas during two daily sessions, from 10:30 AM to 3:00 PM and from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM.
The habitat includes Wazungu, a 14-year-old male gorilla from Austria's Schmiding Zoo, who shares the volcanic environment with two companions from Amsterdam.
