Ramat-Gan Safari 🦁

With what may be a new wave of Coronavirus, we decided to use the tickets we bought long time ago to Ramat-Gan Safari.

I never been to a real Safari in Africa. It means in Swali language a journey. What may fit to a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safarireal Safari in Africa, but not over here.

The first part does feel like a real Safari – you drive around in the car while the animals are free to walk around. This how met Zebras, Gazelles, Ostriches, Hippopotamus, Flamingos, Oryxes, Addaxes, and Giraffes.

We could not find the Rhinoceros, but did find the king of animals – the Lion. It is in a separated area with double heavy gates to keep in the area. While they mostly lie down in this hot weather.

The second part of the Ramat-Gan Safari is a regular Zoo. A nice one but still a Zoo. The rest of the Giraffes and the Elephants are in smaller area than what the other has outside space.

The are of course all other animals, in probably smaller areas then what they used to have when they were free.

I know Zoo on our days keep animals that cannot survive on the wild and it help breed animals that might have been extinct without it. But it still hard to look on them in those cages.
