Koinei te Pāka Whenua ā-Motu tuatahi ka tū ki roto i te Tāone. Ko te Pāka Whenua ā-Motu kua whakaarohia mō te Moutere o Saanane ka waiho hei Pāka Whenua ā-Motu tuarua i roto i te Roto o Wikitōria i muri i te Pāka Whenua ā-Motu o Rubondo.
I tapaina te Papa Whenua ā-Motu o Saanane i muri i a Mzee Saanane Chawandi, te rangatira o te moutere i taua wā. I whakatūria hei Zoo tuatahi i Tanzania i te tau 1964. Ko ōna whāinga matua tuatahi ko te whakatairanga i te hiahia me te mātauranga tiaki kararehe mō ngā kararehe mohoao, tuarua ko te whakatairanga i te whakangahau ki te iwi o te tāone o Mwanza. I waenganui i te tau 1964 me te tau 1966, i haria ngā momo kararehe mohoao ki te moutere.
Ko ētahi o ēnei: te Buffalo, te Bushbuck, te Dik Dik, te Elephant, te Eland. te Impala, te Black Rhino, te Topi, te Warthog, te Wildebeast, te Zebra, me ngā makimaki pēnei i a Patas me te Vervet, te Giraffe, te Porcupine me ngā korokotairo. I puritia ngā kararehe morearea pēnei i a Rhino me te Buffalo, ko ētahi i noho noa. I te tau 1991 i whakawhiwhia te motu ki te mana hei Game Reserve.
He mea whakamiharo te roto nui o Wikitōria. Kei reira ngā momo kararehe pēnei i te Impala, te Crocodiles, te Clawless Otter, te Rock Hyrax, te Honu, te Agama Lizards, e mōhiotia whānuitia ana ko te Agama Mwanzae, me ngā nakahi, inā koa ko te pitona. Ko ētahi atu ko te Raiona, te Spotted Hyena, te Vervet Monkey me te Shy De Brazza's Monkey. E 40 ngā momo manu noho me ngā manu heke e kitea whānuitia ana i te moutere.
He tino ataahua ngā tirohanga a te Pāka ā-Motu o Saanane ki te tonga o Mwanza me te Roto o Wikitōria.
