Olmen Zoo, Animal park in Olmen, Belgium
The zoo extends across landscaped grounds featuring natural enclosures for over 200 species of animals, including tigers, lions, and numerous exotic birds.
Founded in 1976 by former captain Louis Roothooft, the zoo started as a private collection of exotic animals before expanding into a public attraction.
The park changed its name to Pakawi Park in 2019, marking a new chapter in its development and commitment to animal welfare standards.
The zoo includes Zaal Karibu, an event facility that accommodates 350 guests with full kitchen equipment and professional catering services.
The facility maintains a specialized collection of felidae species, housing African lions, white tigers, black leopards, and cougars in dedicated habitats.
