a new concept in the display of wild animals in captivity. They have been apply described as Topsy-Turvy Zoos or Zoos in Reverse. The main idea in such parks is to keep animals in large enclosures in the maximum freedom possible. People see them caged from cars and buses, which are taken inside the enclosures. This revolutionary idea was first put into action in the United Kingdom in 1966 and in Japan. At present there are a few more Safari Parks in United Kingdom, West Germany, United States of America and Japan etc. Most of these Parks or Reserves feature Fauna in Western settings as a substitute for the African National Parks. |
This is the First Safari Park setup in India. The first Bison Safari Park for the endangered Bison has been setup in the Nehru Zoological Park. It has an area of over 5 acres with 4 Bisons.
The area provided in the Safari Park encompasses dense scrub and forest, open Savarnah grassland, bouldery hills and grassy plateau. The Park has a network of roads covering the entire park depicting different types of habitats like the rocky plateau, the valleys and small streams. Visitors are taken in closed vans from which they can watch the Bisons in their natural settings.
The Park provides an exciting experience for people who like to view wild animals moving about in unfettered freedom. For tourists the park is a tremendous attraction and a unique experience. They will be able to take photographs of our unique fauna in a natural setting with ease and in comfort.
