Sharjah Safari animals
Back in April 2021, 121 different types of mammals, reptiles and birds were released into park to adapt to its atmosphere.
That will include gazelles, giraffes, lions, rhinos, African rock pythons, elephants, flamingos African wild turtles, and crocodiles.
Aiming to one-up the competition, Sharjah’s safari park will become the largest safari project outside of Africa.
Sharjah’s Al Bardi Park was initially opened in 2007 as a conservation park in an effort to protect biodiversity and natural ecosystems but is now planning to expand by 3,500 acres in order to accommodate the large amount of animals that will be making new homes in the new safari park.
There’s also going to be a large natural lake surrounded by wide range of cafes, restaurants, a conference hall, safari visitor’s camp and more.
Emirates News Agency WAM states that ‘Sharjah Safari will work to preserve biological diversity, and to protect and breed endangered animals and contribute to environmental sustainability. The Environment and Protected Areas Authority in Sharjah seeks to protect the environment, natural reserves, wildlife and their biodiversity through scientific studies and research’.
In particular, Samar trees, which are essential to the reserve will be planted. These provide food for camels and goats in the desert and also nectar to bees which in turn produce honey. In addition to this, Outdoor comfort solutions will be designed in order to create cool and comfortable places around the park.
With destinations such as Al Noor Island, Pearls Kingdom and Sharjah Safari expected to open in late 2021 or early 2022 , the city will certainly put itself on the map as a popular tourist destination.
