It's there on the pathway to Asia. Just keep to the left. It's been there since park open. There even used to be a couple of areas that looked like the nest of gorillas. Something like they show you on Ituri Forest Trail (aka Gorilla falls).

I know this is a bit old, but when I was working the safari, they were giving the lions frozen rabbits to gnaw on. A few guests commented, but thought it was cool.
