What you've got works just fine. While drier-based, San Diego Zoo Safari Park keeps buffalo, kob (Ugandan), lechwe (Nile), East African Oryx, East African Crowned Crane, Southern White Rhinoceros, Reticulated Giraffe, and Rothschild's Giraffe together.

I'd drop the rhinos, giraffe, and East African Oryx, and add one of the waterbuck.

You could have kept your answer up Consultant, but thanks, Fireplume :) I wasn't intending to use so many species, just a couple of those listed, but since I don't really have a solid exhibit idea, I suppose I could adapt and use more.

Anyone interested can keep an eye on my exhibit designs thread for the end product...

Be careful to have enough off-exhibit enclosures so the other animals can retreat to. African Buffalo are very agressive And have been known to kill other animals in captivity : http://www.upi.com/Top_News/2009/04/21/4-zebra-deaths-at-Canadian-zoo/UPI-73821240336633/.

New questions:
1) Dibatag and Beira?
2) Beira + something not able to climb?
3) Beira and Helmeted Guinefowl or Crowned Crane?

Thank you for answering ;)

1 and 3 would probably be ok but be careful with the cranes and antelope that are small

How about Waldrapp, pink pigeon, spix Macaw, maleo, kagu?

No. They all live in different areas (geographically speaking, this is just... no) and require different things. Husbandry of some of the species isn't too well known, so it's best if they're not kept together. I will say however, when I saw Kagu it WAS in a combined exhibit with I believe Pied Imperial Pigeon and Superb Bird-of-Paradise.

Well, those birds don't live in the same area, and the ibis lives in totally different climate, so it can't work as far as I know. Plus the ibises are sometimes eat carcasses and even kill smaller animals.

Aren't toucans aggressive and potentially dangerous towards chicks of other species ?

Because Puffins

Could I make a walkthrough with palawan peacock pheasant, Philippine ducks, Philippine mouse deer, Asian Fairy bluebird and Banded Broadbills? I have a feeling that this isn't going to work :/

I think the deers might be too shy for a walkthrough exhibit, too much stress for them.
