Joburg Zoo Night Tours

Joburg Zoo Night Tours
– In The Dark


The Joburg Zoo offers night tours, where you are able to see animals that only come out at night. But most people think of the zoo as a day trip. So how do you get families excited about visiting the zoo at night?​​​​​​​
You let them discover the animals for themselves by designing a series of educational posters. We laser cut a bespoke, foldable design into each of the posters. By using your phone’s flashlight you could see what animals come out in the dark. Like the Lion, the Red Panda, the Eagle Owl and the Wild Dog. Instead of just being flat posters, they became a hands-on, interactive experience. And because your phone was already in your hand, a simple call to action prompted you to book online.
