Mapori Restaurant

Somewhat of the more pricier options in the Zoo, but, it offers the best sit down opportunity with a climate controlled building and awesome view out of the African Savanah exhibit. I think I've ate at nearly every place within the Zoo over the years (long standing membership), and, I can say without a doubt this is where you'll get the absolute best food. Personally, I am not a fan of park food, anywhere I travel but I was pleasantly surprised for food sitting under a lamp light, it seemed relatively fresh, was extremely filling, and was a painless process in terms of ordering - very orderly and structured, with a strict line, where as other places in the zoo it's much more clustered. Solely speaking within the Zoo, this is your most relaxing, best bang for your buck, great view, and pretty good eats recommendation.
