Honolulu Zoo Elephant Cam

A Naturalistic Elephant Habitat

The Asian elephant exhibit at the Honolulu Zoo pairs volcanic-rock terrain with a generous watering pool, giving the herd room to wade, bathe, and roam across a landscape modeled on their native range. Sculpted lava-rock outcrops and open sand yards let visitors — and the camera — take in the full scale of the enclosure.

Tropical Savanna Design

Palms, ferns, and dense tropical foliage frame the exhibit, echoing the savanna habitats elephants inhabit across Asia. Shaded shelters and rock formations double as enrichment features, encouraging natural behaviors like foraging, bathing, and social interaction within view of the live camera.

Kapiolani Park & the Honolulu Zoo

Founded in 1914, the Honolulu Zoo sits within historic Kapiolani Park at the foot of Diamond Head, near Waikiki on the island of Oʻahu. The 42-acre grounds host hundreds of species, with the elephant habitat ranking among its most popular exhibits.
