Gazipur Safari Park

Steemian Friends,
Today, I will review a tourist destination in our country, which I will show you through the Steem-atlas map. I visited the biggest safari park in our country. The current name of the safari park is Gazipur Safari Park. Earlier, our country was named Bangabandhu Safari Park. I have attached a unit of the safari park to OpenStreetMap and shown it below.

In front of Gazipur Safari Park

I left for Gazipur Safari Park at the beginning of this year. I visited Gazipur Safari Park for the first time. I got out of the car in front of the safari park and was surprised. There is a huge car parking area in front of the safari park. People from different parts of the country come to visit the safari park by car. I have my office colleague and two Steemian friends with me. I walked to the main gate of the safari park. I collected the tickets by paying the entrance fee at the main gate of the safari park. First, you only have to pay the entrance fee; then, there are separate entrance fees for travelling to different units within the safari park.

First Gate

After entering through the main gate, I saw greenery all around. The safari park spans a vast expanse of land. We have to visit different units of the safari park in a day, so we started following the travel guide banner. We continued walking along the road, surrounded by lush greenery. We first went to the wildlife sanctuary. Here, wild animals roam freely. We kept moving forward after seeing the travel guide banner.

Ticket Price	50 Taka(Local)	3 Steem

Core Safari Park:

We stopped in front of the Core Safari Park. There are different species of wild animals inside the Core Safari Park. Especially tigers. I am very interested in seeing tigers. Core Safari Park features special vehicles that transport visitors around the park, allowing them to view the wild animals. We went to the gate of the Core Safari Park and bought tickets. There was a massive crowd of people at the ticket counter.

Entrance Gate

Everyone entered the core safari park with caution because the wild animals are free here. We got into a specialised car and sat next to the window because it would be convenient to see the wild animals. Our car entered the forest. I was a little scared at first. There were many small children in our car. Our vehicle came face-to-face with the wild animals, stopped briefly, and then proceeded forward again. This was the first time I had been so close to the wild animals of the forest.

Ticket Price	150 Taka(Local)	9 Steem

In this way, the car drove around inside the core park and showed us the wild animals for about forty-five minutes. I took a few pictures through the bus window. I had always heard that you can go directly to the wild animals in Gazipur Safari Park; today, I saw some wild animals. However, the security of the safari park is very good.

Safari Kingdom:

Safari Kingdom is a big unit of the Gazipur Safari Park. There are several units inside Safari Kingdom. There is a ticket counter to enter here. I buy tickets together to travel to all of them. The names of some of the notable units here are:

Entrance Gate

Each unit has the opportunity to get close to the animals. You can enter the bird cages. Large houses have been built for the birds. There are security guards inside the bird houses. For the convenience of tourists, employees wear specific uniforms and carry ID cards to provide directions. Here, you can see different species of wild birds from very close up. I had a bird on my shoulder after entering the bird house.

There are different species of fish in the fish aquarium. The names of the fish in the aquarium are written in both English and their native languages. Upon entering the aquarium, visitors are greeted by beautiful lighting and 3D displays. I saw some fish that I had never seen before. The aquarium is a lot of fun, especially for children.

Hanging Bridge:

There is a hanging bridge inside the Gazipur Safari Park. The bridge is built over a large canal. You must purchase a ticket to access the bridge. I bought a ticket and set off for the hanging bridge. While going to the hanging bridge, there are hilly forests all around. After going up to the hanging bridge, I took a few pictures. Elephants have been released on the other side of the hanging bridge. After I went to the middle of the hanging bridge, I saw a gathering of greenery all around for some time.

Ticket Price	10 Taka(Local)	0.7 Steem

Different species of wild animals have been released inside the safari park. Some of the wild animals have walls around them. All the animals that are not wild are roaming around in front of us. It is not possible to visit the safari park in one day. Still, I am visiting the animal units one by one. Seeing the suspension bridge, I resumed walking. Numerous tourists like me are roaming around inside the safari park.

Crocodile Park:

There is a crocodile park inside the safari park. There are different species of crocodiles here. I saw a few crocodiles in the water from a distance. Crocodiles can be seen from a certain distance. There is security for the crocodile park because crocodiles are known to be fierce. There is an iron fence around the crocodile park.

Entrance Gate

Crown Pheasant Aviary:

There are different species of peacocks here. Peacocks can fly, so a large area has been enclosed in a net. For the convenience of tourists, a bridge has been provided inside the area. You can walk through the bridge and get close to the peacocks. There are peacocks and peahens of different colours.

Earlier the name of the Safari Park was Bangabandhu Safari Park. Now the name has been changed to Gazipur Safari Park. So I have added it to OpenstreetMap as Gazipur Safari Park.
