Asante means “Thank you” in Swahili.
The Asante Society is the Zoo’s way of thanking its most generous supporters and bringing members even closer to the life of the Zoo.
The Houston Zoo is where we can connect with our inner wild, in the midst of the nation’s fourth largest city. As an Asante Society member, you support our daily commitment to animal care, enrichment programming, wildlife conservation, education, and research initiatives across our community and beyond.
Please help keep the Houston Zoo an inspirational place for your family, an excellent home for its animals, and a great steward of our region by becoming an Asante Society member with a gift of $1,200 or more the Zoo’s Annual Drive. Asante members may enjoy many new wonderful privileges, including receptions in private homes throughout Houston, unlimited access to the Zoo during visitation hours, and exclusive opportunities designed especially for Asante members featuring the Zoo’s amazing resident animals. Enclosed, please find Asante Society materials that outline the privileges of becoming part of this dynamic group of Zoo supporters.
