What is Safari?
- A safari is not just a ride, but an immersive journey into the world of wildlife. Unlike traditional zoos, animals here live in open, expansive areas resembling their natural habitats. Visitors explore these landscapes in designated vehicles that move at low speeds, creating a safe yet thrilling opportunity to observe animals closely in a free-range environment.
- The entire safari area is secured by a 5-meter-high chain link fence (with a 1.5-meter extension bent inward at 60 degrees) for animal safety. Inside, dense vegetation, water bodies, and green belts ensure both comfort for animals and a natural experience for visitors. Over 55,000 saplings have been planted to further enhance the habitat.
