Gazipur is a city where you can and should enjoy nature. This is the place where the most beautiful national safari parks in Bangladesh are concentrated.
One of the most popular Safari parks in the country, Bangabandhu Safari Park was opened relatively recently, in 2013. But it has already become a favorite place for tourists and locals.
Bangabandhu Safari Park is a corner of wild nature where people can watch almost 3000 species of beautiful animals. The peculiarity of this park is that not animals, but people are in the cages. Yes, when driving a car covered with a special protective grid, or walking along alleys that are also fenced for the safety of visitors, people are isolated. And animals freely walk around the territory, because this is their home, their natural habitat.
Gazipur Safari Park (it is the second name of this attractive place) is divided into five thematic zones. The main one is the Core Safari where you can see large wild animals. Then there is the Safari Kingdom dedicated to wild cats and, of course, the Royal Bengal tigers. The next section is the Biodiversity Park, where small animals from all over the world are collected. The Extensive Asian Safari Park includes mammals and reptiles that are typical of this region. And the last one is the beautiful Bangabandhu Square, a place where you can relax, have a snack in a small cafe and think about the gained experience.
Moreover, Bangabandhu Safari Park has a separate bird-themed area with various parrots, flamingos, black and white swans, and rare species of Mandarin ducks.
The main jewel of Bangabandhu Safari Park is the pavilion with beautiful butterflies. There you can not only admire these elegant insects but also see the metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a butterfly. They not only contain, but also breed rare species of these fauna representatives.
