This question is somewhat vague. While there are some nationally-recognized animal conservation areas called "zoo" in Africa (The National Zoological Gardens of South Africa is one), the truth is most are not officially called a "zoo" at all. Some may be called a "Sanctuary" "Reserve" or something other than "National Park," but the overwhelming majority of the over 400 areas designated as a National Park ARE explicitly called a "National Park," including Mole National Park, Orango Islands National Park, Nki National Park and River Gambia National Park.
