Wild-life Animals - Bongobondhu Safari Park, Gazipur , Bangladesh

My dad is a government officer of the Ministry of Forest and Environment of Bangladesh, so I had an enormous chance to explore Bangladesh which I did. We always got extra facilities because of my dad's reputation.

So, Bongobondhu Safari Park was one of the territories which were part of my Dad's job. Basically Bongobondhu Safari Park is a project of the Forest Department and also known as wildlife conservation. It is located at Gazipur, 40 km from Dhaka city. The total area of this park is 3810 acres (1542 ha) which is one of the largest safari parks among ASIA. It is situated inside SAL Forest.

By the way, these posts gonna be a wildlife photography post rather than a travel story. So enjoy the photographs. I have used my dad's zooming lens to capture these images otherwise it's quite impossible to capture these pictures.

I have seen tigers in my life, White Tiger, Siberian tiger but these are Royal Bengal Tigers which can only be found in Bangladesh and India. They are very ferocious and they are becoming extinct nowadays.

One of the main reasons for their extinction is deforestation. Also, people are killing them because of their skin and fur.

When I went to the sanctuary, there was a specific time. You can't see them at any time. It was 4 years back, I don't know what is the condition now.

I felt Zebras are quite interesting, they don't even care about anything until they don't see any danger. I captured their picture at noon so it was their resting time after lunch.

I am not sure the species of these Oxen, maybe they are known as Himalayan Buffaloes or NillGai something like that.

I have also seen these big cats called lioness... Fascinating isn't it...

I have captured these pictures from my car and it was well protected.

Children enjoy watching giant giraffe be honest as well as me.

I always wondered why giraffe is so tall, long neck when I was a kid...

These are the spotted deer and I personally love this animal. I had a pet deer when I was a kid, it stayed with me for a long time but later my dad send him to the jungle. I know how friendly they can be and their eyes are magical.

I called these elephants decorative animals and children love to ride on them. When I was a kid I also ride on it once I guess...

Many people come here to explore this safari park, especially on the weekend. In winter people go there for picnic as well. From my perspective, I feel Safari Park is much better for wildlife rather than the zoo. Because in Zoo, I have seen them in cages but these wildlife doesn't belong to the cages...

Well, I haven't visited the biggest Safari park in Africa but the Safari park in my country is not less than in other countries.
