African Lion Safari is a safari park situated about 100 km (62 mi) west of Toronto in Cambridge, Ontario. However its actually located is in Flamborough, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. The park was first opened the gates for public in 1969 and the experience is completely different manner of exhibiting animals from the traditional approach; that is, the visitor is caged in the car, and the animals roam in 2 to 20 hectare (5 to 50 acre) reserves.
African Lion Safari have more than 1,000 animals, representing over 130 species of mammals and birds from across the world. Guests may tour seven game reserves (with a total area of about 300 hectares) traversed via tour buses or the visitors own vehicles where animals move freely in park.
Lion Safari is a great experience that allows you to view and photograph unique and rare mammals and birds who are moving freely in large park same as like in jungle. The Safari Trail takes you through prides of lions, troops of baboons and herds of zebra. You will see big cats, baboons, white rhino, ostrich, aoudad, eland, giraffe and many other exotic and native species.
Travel through the reserves in your own vehicle (Convertibles, motorcycles and other unsuitable vehicles will not be permitted to drive) or park your car and let an informative tour guide drive you through this wild kingdom in a air-conditioned Safari Tour Bus (additional cost). The drive through tour will take about one hour and the average stay for a family visit is five to seven hours.
The African Lion Safari also offers two tours for no additional charge; the first on boat around a lake whose islands are inhabited by various primates of the world, and the second by train through a natural wetland, which provides excellent opportunities of viewing local wildlife. The natural setting of the entire park provides excellent bird watching opportunities.
