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. |
One of the major aspects of setting up of Safari Parks was to keep these animals in near natural settings and develop them into large breeding groups which would form a nucleus for their eventual return to wild to restock the depleted wild populations.
As a part of this programme, the Tiger Safari Park, which is again first of its kind in the country was setup. Work on this park was started in the year 1982, but due to paucity of funds and with meager allocations available annually this park is now totally set up for the benefit of the visitors.
The Tiger Safari Park extends over an area of 42 acres and is fenced around with a combination of masonary wall and chainlink fence to a height of 18'. 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 Tigers 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.
