Safari Park, Public safari park in Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Pakistan
Description
Safari Park is a 148-acre wildlife facility in Gulshan-e-Iqbal where animals roam freely across expansive green grounds in large enclosures. Visitors can observe multiple animal species that inhabit settings designed to mimic their natural environments.
History
The park was established in 1970 as an independent initiative and eventually came under the management of Karachi Municipal Corporation. Over time it grew into a significant attraction for people seeking to view wildlife in an urban environment.
Culture
The park serves as a gathering place where families experience animals living in spacious settings rather than confined cages. This approach to wildlife viewing has become part of how locals connect with nature in an urban setting.
Practical
This venue works best as a daytime visit, ideally in early morning hours when animals are most active and light conditions are favorable. Walking paths are generally flat and accessible for visitors with varying mobility needs.
Did you know?
A section called Kashmir Point features a small waterway flowing down a hillside slope that reflects the region's geographic character. This quieter corner offers a moment to pause and contrasts with the open animal enclosures elsewhere in the grounds.
