The Khartoum Zoo (Arabic: حديقة حيوانات الخرطوم, romanized: Ḥadīqat al-Ḥaywānāt bir-Khārtoum) was a zoological park located in Khartoum, Sudan.
[1] The zoo was founded at the center of Khartoum in 1901 to house animals given to "the Governor General as complimentary presents" and those caught for sale to zoos in Europe and other places.
[3] After the closure of the zoological gardens, the Corinthia Hotel was built on the site.
[4] The Kuku Zoo (Arabic: حديقة كوكو العالمية) was established in Hilat Koko, in Khartoum, in 2009 by the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Production of the Sudan University of Science and Technology.
[5] The old Khartoum Zoological Gardens kept animals such as lions, elephants,[6] zebras, hippopotamus, tortoises, rhinoceroses, and others.
