A lion safari tour is under strict security measures. A strange entrance, high wire fences, and with a little luck, you'll see the sleeping beast through the wire mesh of the roller shutter that runs on the car just before the entrance.

Walking safari is deprived of comment, which is a pity. You will not know that, for example, an ostrich grows up at the age of two, that its eggs would be cooked hard for an hour and a half, and that it has a brain smaller than an eye. And what about an ostrich and poking his head in the sand? It's just a superstition. It is not advisable to play with an ostrich. He can kick-kick from a jump. And with the power of a horse kicking you.

To the zoo you can with a dog on a leash, to safari not. However, a local pen can be used.
