Greetings, dear readers!
I continue the story for you about a trip to Crimea, combining the promised photos with a story about the places we visited. Today I will tell you about Taigan Lion Park.
The park is located 60 kilometers from the city of Sudak, in which we rested, in Belogorsk.
To be honest, I initially doubted whether it was worth spending almost the whole day on this park. Why haven't I seen zoos? I saw, and what, for example, Loro Park in Tenerife.
I doubted that I would like the safari park. Before the trip, I knew little about him, and from the information I looked through quickly on the Internet, it seemed to me that that you can go through the safari park and never find a single animal, because they will hide.
Yes, and the weather did not want to please with the sun, they promised a thunderstorm. I didn't really want to get into a thunderstorm, especially on the serpentine road - I'm a coward in this regard.
And yet we took a chance - let's go!
I will not torment you with long stories, I will only say that I really liked the park and the most important thing is that the animals can be observed practically in the natural conditions of the Crimean nature with specially equipped bridges over territories with lions, and visitors to the park can feed the animals that are so accustomed to the crowds of tourists feeding them that they impudently beg food.
Ticket price: children from 3 to 10 years old - 500 rubles, adults - 1000 rubles.
Indescribable sensations when the lion looks into your eyes and waits for a tasty treat, realizing that it will now receive it.
Scroll through the photo:
If you want some experience, be sure to buy snacks for animals at special kiosks located on the territory of the park.
Taigan Park even has such unique animals as white lions.
How comfortable the animals are in the park can be judged by how actively they reproduce. We managed to catch the moment when the park staff examined the newly born lion cub and then took him away, leaf through the photo:
In addition to lions (the park still positions itself as a park of lions), there is a huge number of animals: tigers, jagurs, black leopards, housed as in ordinary zoos.
Due to the fact that the weather was not hot, the animals were quite active and did not hide. You can see the animals closely enough.
In the park you will find many animals: various bears (Himalayan, brown), giraffes, elephants, monkeys, many birds.
In the park, you can chat with little lion cubs, tiger cubs and take pictures with him.
There is an observation deck on the territory of the park with a beautiful view and many places for photos.
The park left a positive impression. The animals look very good, I would like to say - well-groomed.
