Area of carnivores

Of the many areas in the zoo, the carnivore area is the most impressive. In the African Savannah Zone, you get to see animals popular in the African jungles like tigers, lions, giraffe, replicating the real African Savanna. You can feel their immense energy and power just by watching their movements. It is a strange feeling to experience the African Savanna in the middle of a metropolis.
