Game Review: Safari Park, Jr.

Today’s review is for  Safari Park Jr. by Smart Games.

Disclosure : I received a complimentary game for review from  Timberdoodle . All views expressed are my own. 

Safari Park, Jr.

Like most other Smart Games,  Safari Park Jr. is a single-player puzzle game. This one focuses on planning, problem solving, visual perception, language, and eye-hand coordination. It is recommended for ages 3 and up.

What’s Included

Safari Park Jr. includes a game board with four removable animals: an elephant, a lion, and two giraffes. The 3D landscape features of rocks, grass, trees, and a rainbow are part of the board. There are 30 challenge cards, printed on both sides for a total of 60 challenges at four different levels: Starter, Junior, Expert, and Master.

How to Play

Each of the four animals has a base with a different shape. The four corners of the board have shaped holes the bases fit in. The animals can then slide along the paths of the board. Just this element makes Safari Park Jr. a fun fidget toy for little ones, even if they don’t use the challenge cards.

However, its the challenge cards which bring all the thinking skills into play. The object is to move the animals along the grooves in the board until you can match the picture on the challenge card. In the first challenge the elephant has just walked through the rainbow. Ta-da! Pretty easy, of course.

By the expert level the challenge might incorporate multiple animals.

At first glance it seems like a pretty simple baby toy. The extra challenge comes in because the animals can only move in specific ways. For example, the giraffes cannot fit under the trees or the rainbow so they have go across the middle of the board, rather than around, to get to the other side. The lion, with the star-shaped based, cannot turn to go onto the path that leads across the board, so he always has to go around. The elephant is too wide to go between the rocks or the grass so he also has to cross the board to get to the other side.

My Thoughts

Safari Park Jr. is, of course, meant for preschoolers. I love how it can easily be used for free play as well as building those early thinking skills.

However, it can also be enjoyed by any age. While the challenges are pretty easy compared to many of the SmartGames I’ve reviewed, they are still challenges and require some planning to move the animals into their respective places.

Game Reserves Near Cape Town

Top Five Game Reserves for Safaris Near Cape Town

Cape Town is known around the world for its stunning scenery, world-class restaurants, and fascinating cultural landmarks (including Robben Island and Bo-Kaap ). However, what many visitors don't know is that the city is also a convenient base for exploring some of the finest game reserves in the Western Cape. If you don't have time to head north to major South African reserves like Kruger or Mkhuze , don't worry; you can also look for safari animals in Cape Town's backyard. All of the reserves listed in this article are within a few hours' drive of the Mother City. They're also malaria -free.

Note: Driving times given below are based on departure from central Cape Town near the V&A Waterfront and may be considerably shorter or longer if you're staying in the suburbs. For the quickest travel times, make sure to plan your journey around off-peak traffic hours.

Buffelsfontein Game Reserve

Although safari purists may balk at the idea of a reserve that keeps its carnivores in separate enclosures, Buffelsfontein Game Reserve is nevertheless the most convenient option for those with limited time to spare. As a 1,600-hectare converted cattle ranch, the park is just over an hour's drive from central Cape Town and is home to four of the Big Five (lion, leopard, buffalo, and white rhino). Guests will also have the opportunity to spot cheetah , giraffe, zebra, and several iconic antelope species on a half or full guided game drive.

The half drive lasts for 1.5 hours, while the full drive takes around three hours and departs at 9 a.m. or 2 p.m. If you book an afternoon full drive on any day except Sunday, you'll also get to see the park's carnivores being fed. For a totally different safari experience, consider booking a mountain bike safari instead. If you do have time to extend your stay, there are a variety of accommodation options, from bush camps and self-catering chalets for budget travelers to more luxurious four-sleeper cottages. There's a restaurant, swimming pool, and bar on-site.

Aquila Private Game Reserve

​Located a two-hour drive northeast of Cape Town, Aquila Private Game Reserve  is a 4-star park offering half-day, full-day, and overnight safari options. The 10,000-hectare conservancy is home to the Big Five including rhino, elephant, lion, leopard, and buffalo. All five of these species have been reintroduced to the Western Cape after being driven to the brink of extinction by the big game hunters of the past. The park is also home to the Aquila Animal Rescue and Conservation Centre , which provides a sanctuary for rescued safari animals that are no longer able to survive in the wild.

If the idea of a traditional safari vehicle is a little too tame, consider booking a horse-ride or quad bike safari instead. Although the park is close enough for a day trip from Cape Town, overnight accommodations include a luxury lodge and several exquisite chalets. The chalets offer indoor fireplaces and outdoor showers, allowing you to fully appreciate the magic of life in the bush. Other useful amenities include a bar, a restaurant, an infinity pool, and a spa. Aquila also offers transfers from Cape Town hotels via mini-bus, private vehicle, airplane, or helicopter.

Inverdoorn Game Reserve

Half an hour beyond Aquila Private Game Reserve lies  Inverdoorn Game Reserve , another 10,000-hectare protected area in the Klein Karoo. Inverdoorn achieved Big Five status in 2012 with the introduction of a herd of elephants. It is also home to non-profit organization Western Cape Cheetah Conservation and visitors are given the opportunity to see these magnificent predators up close. Since 2018, the reserve has implemented a strict no-touch policy in accordance with the latest ethical conservation practices.

The park also offers a choice of 4- and 5-star accommodation options. There's a tented camp and a series of well-appointed chalets, while the multiple-room guest houses are perfect for families or friends traveling together. For the last word in luxury, opt for a night in the exquisite Ambassador Suite. Overnight guests are invited to join a walking safari at sunrise, when the animals of the reserve are at their most active. The route to Inverdoorn takes you through the Cape Winelands ; consider stopping for a tasting along the way.

Sanbona Wildlife Reserve 

From Cape Town, you can drive to Sanbona Wildlife Reserve in approximately three hours. Nestled at the foot of the Warmwaterberg Mountains, the reserve is a Klein Karoo paradise known for its indigenous wildlife and ancient rock art . Measuring some 54,000 hectares, it is also made special by its vast, sprawling landscapes. You'll find the Big Five here, as well as cheetah and smaller native mammals including the rare riverine rabbit. The wide range of activities on offer include birdwatching, nature walks, rock art tours, and stargazing. Boat safaris on Bellair Dam offer a different game-viewing perspective. 

Since game drives take place at sunrise and sunset, most visitors to Sanbona Wildlife Reserve opt to stay overnight. There are three luxury lodges to choose from, including a tented camp with spa baths, private decks, and a fine-dining restaurant. If you want to experience Africa at its most authentic, consider a walking safari with a stay at the back-to-basics Explorer Camp. A kids' program , childminding services, and a dedicated family lodge make this the ideal choice for those traveling with children. 

Grootbos Private Nature Reserve

When you've ticked the Big Five off your bucket-list, consider taking a two-hour drive southeast of Cape Town to coastal  Grootbos Private Nature Reserve . Located at the meeting point of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, the reserve is the ultimate destination for spotting the Marine Big Five: namely, great white sharks, southern right whales, bottlenose dolphins, African penguins, and Cape fur seals. The lodge offers coastal safaris in association with Dyer Island Cruises . Cage diving with great white sharks , whale-watching tours, horse-riding, nature walks, and botanical safaris are also offered. 

The reserve, which measures 2,500 hectares, is home to almost 800 different plant species; 100 of which are endangered and six of which were discovered for the first time on site. Its protected milkwood forests are over 1,000 years old. In order to have enough time to explore its wonders, you can stay overnight either at the Garden Lodge, the Forest Lodge, or in a private luxury villa. Each eco-friendly option is designed to complement the reserve's incredible natural beauty. Amenities range from tranquil swimming pools to organic 5-star dining.

The Best Safari Games for Computers and Handheld Devices

If you love animals and exotic landscapes, you may have dreamed of traveling to Africa to go on a Safari in Kenya, Tanzania, or Botswana. Although video games can’t substitute the real thing, they can provide you with an exciting adventure full of great gameplay with life-like graphics. There are several apps, online games, and computer games that can take you to faraway lands from the comfort of your own home. Whether you like puzzle games or want to manage your very own safari park, these games at SNOG (Sites Not On Gamstop) have something for you.

As the popularity of online gaming has increased, a new genre called eSports has emerged, where professional gamers compete for prizes and money. There’s still some debate about which video games genres are eSports , but most agree there must be an element of competition. Although it’s unlikely the games on our list will be classified as eSports anytime soon, they’re still a fun way to keep yourself entertained when you have extra time on your hands. In this article, we’ll take a look at some of the best safari games you can play on your computer or handheld device.

Safari Park Ranger for PC

Africa is famous for the diverse habitats which span its continent, which is one reason why it’s the place most people think of when they hear the word safari. In this simulation game, you take on the role of warden in one of Africa’s national parks. As warden, you’re responsible for taking care of animals, treating them when they get sick, and ensuring their safety. In keeping with reality, tourists frequent your park, and you get to organize their safari trips. You’re responsible for making sure everything goes to plan as they explore the park under your supervision. As you’d expect, you’ll have to battle poachers, act as a veterinarian, and maybe even save an endangered species or two. If you think you’re up for the challenge, be sure to check out this game.

Merge Safari—Fantastic Animal Isle

This highly playable mobile game is a perfect addition to the game collection of animals lovers everywhere. The game drops you onto your own island paradise where you work to merge animals in order to create new life. Your goal is to populate your island with different animal species. The laidback gameplay makes it an excellent choice after a long day of work when you want to relax and enjoy beautiful graphics. Decorating your own island has never been so much fun. If you’re looking for a game without a steep learning curve, Merge Safari is worth considering.

Happy Safari – The Zoo Game

If you’ve ever dreamt of traveling the world and collecting exotic and endangered animals along the way, you’ll love the Happy Safari Zoo Game. Gameplay involves taking care of your animals, and cleaning and upgrading their living space. You’ll also have to feed and nurture the animals. If you want crowds of paying visitors to come to your zoo, be sure to collect the rarest animals possible. Once your animals have matured, you can release them into the wild so they can repopulate and save the species. One of the most enjoyable parts of the game is going out on safaris to track down and collect real-life species such as the northern hairy-nosed wombat, the massive walrus, tiny beach voles, South China tigers, giant pandas, arctic foxes, and more. There are new tasks to complete daily, so you’ll never get bored.

While it is not the traditional African safari game, Ski Safari is so much fun that we couldn’t leave it off the list. In this game, you play as Sven and use animals to escape an unrelenting avalanche threatening the local mountainsides. You’ll encounter different animals along the journey, and each one has unique qualities that will speed your escape. You can use penguins to glide but yetis are stronger, and eagles can help you soar high in the sky. Snowmobiles are scattered throughout the slopes that can help Sven transport animals at fast speeds. Your goal is staying ahead of the avalanche and completing objectives to level up. The game’s controls are intuitive and the graphics excellent, making it a perfect choice for animal lovers everywhere.

We’ll be back after this short break

6 Big Game Safari Parks in the US

See the big five without making the big trip. by kristi marcelle, top family attractions.

Is an African safari on your bucket list but not in your budget? Across the country, safari parks are attracting visitors that want to see the Big Five without making the big trip. Here are six parks where you can take a jeep safari tour, zip-line over elephants, or wake to the lions’ roar from the comfort of your luxury tent—and none require a passport or a second mortgage.

San Diego Zoo Safari Park: Escondido, CA

Theme park meets safari at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park , where educational shows, safaris and activities await. The newest adventure, Flightline Safari, is a 470-foot zip line that soars 160 feet above rhinos and other animals. Wildly popular “Roar & Snore” sleepover safaris including guided hikes, campfires, and meals are scheduled throughout the year.

Lion Country Safari: West Palm Beach, FL

This pioneering drive-through safari in West Palm Beach has been entertaining generations of Floridians and vacationers since 1967. Amusement park rides, boat cruises, water play splash zones, mini-golf and camel rides are the newest additions to the 900-animal park. If you’re looking for a rustic place to stay, The Travel Channel named the adjacent KOA campground one of the top five places to pitch a tent (and not get eaten by lions).

Fossil Rim Wildlife Center: Glenrose, TX

If hand-feeding a giraffe is on your bucket list, purchase a bag of animal feed and head out on the 9.5-mile scenic wildlife drive-through safari or take a guided tour. This non-profit conservation center, located an hour outside of Dallas , specializes in breeding programs for endangered animals. The center offers a variety of safaris, camps and even a nighttime murder mystery tour. Because, you never know, maybe the giraffe did it in the conservatory with the wrench.

The Wilds: Cumberland, OH

Ninety miles east of Columbus , this non-profit conservation park sits on 10,000 acres of reclaimed mine land. The Zipline Safari takes you soaring on ten zip lines above more than 350 animals, or you can giddy-up on a horseback safari. The park is open May-October; family and adult camps are offered during summer.

Safari West: Santa Rosa, CA

Who knew that you could find lions and tigers and wildebeests—oh my!—smack in the middle of California Wine Country? Just an hour from San Francisco, the 600-acre Safari West preserve is home to over 600 animals. Cruise through the “Sonoma Serengeti” in an open-air jeep with a coveted roof-top seat that thrills little adventurers, then stay the night glamping in a luxury tent with bunk beds for the kids and on-site wine tastings for the adults.

Wild Animal Safari: Pine Mountain, GA

At this drive-through safari a 90-minute drive from Atlanta , you can take a safari bus tour, rent a zebra van or drive your own vehicle through the 250-acre park with over 650 animals.

Houve um tempo em que era possível ver tigres selvagens por toda a Ásia, mas agora eles são rechaçados para apenas 13 países, com alguns projetos em lugares como a África para reintroduzi-los na natureza. O tigre continua sendo o maior gato vivo do mundo e é simplesmente magnífico de observar.

Pontos-chave no Tiger Safari

• Tem 13 países no mundo onde você pode ver tigres selvagens
• Esses lugares são Índia, Nepal, Butão, Bangladesh, Camboja, Rússia, Laos, Mianmar, Vietnã, Indonésia
• A Índia é o local mais famoso para ver tigres, com mais de 70% da população e 80% de probabilidade de avistá-los
• Surpreendentemente, você também pode ver tigres selvagens na África (através do Projeto Tiger Canyon )

Nossa jornada não começa com safáris, mas com a compreensão das espécies – habitats dos tigres, comportamento e o delicado equilíbrio que os sustenta. Destacaremos os esforços globais de conservação, combatendo a caça furtiva e o comércio ilegal que ameaçam estas maravilhas listradas. Também exploraremos o reino raramente compreendido dos encontros entre tigres e humanos, discutindo precauções ao atravessar seus terrenos selvagens.

Junte-se a nós enquanto nos aprofundamos na conservação dos tigres, explorando iniciativas globais e as experiências incríveis que aguardam aqueles que encontrarem estes monarcas da selva no seu elemento.

Vá para qualquer seção ou leia o artigo completo sobre Tiger Safaris em todo o mundo.

Melhores lugares para ver tigres

Quer encontrar os melhores lugares para ver tigres em estado selvagem? Veja o que coletamos no Tiger Safari ou no guia turístico.

Analisamos os melhores lugares para safáris de tigres ou passeios globais. Você pode ver tigres em estado selvagem em 13 países diferentes, mas estes 5 oferecem a maior probabilidade de avistamento.

#1 Parque Nacional Kanha, Madhya Pradesh, Índia

A Índia abriga setenta por cento da população mundial de tigres, com a população de tigres de Bengala em 2226 durante o último censo em 2014. O estado de Madhya Pradesh é o Estado do Tigre da Índia; está localizado a poucas horas ao sul de Deli. 

A Índia oferece uma das melhores oportunidades de observação de tigres do mundo, com mais de 50 resorts Tier chamados de “Estado do Tigre”.

O Parque Nacional Kanha em Madhya Pradesh é um dos parques nacionais mais famosos da Índia devido ao seu tamanho. Porém, por causa desse tamanho, tenta-se ao máximo fazer com que os tigres esperados por todos os viajantes também enfrentem.  A menos que não tenhamos nada contra o extremamente questionável show de tigres, onde os tigres são expulsos da vegetação rasteira com a ajuda de elefantes, hordas de famílias indianas esperam ruidosamente com o carro até que o elefante esteja pronto para transportar os clientes até o tigre. 

Além dos tempos de espera, que podem chegar a 2 horas, esse arranjo é para quem realmente tem interesse, mas uma farsa de proteção animal não pode funcionar assim! Contudo o parque também vale a pena independentemente dos seus tigres. Deve-se simplesmente conhecer a fauna rica em espécies. Avistar um tigre não é tudo!

Como chegar: O Parque Nacional Kanha está situado no sopé sudeste das montanhas Satpura, quase 165 km a sudeste de Jabalpur.

#2 Parque Nacional Bandhavgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Índia

O Parque Nacional Bandhavgarh é um parque nacional em Madhya Pradesh, na Índia. Abrange uma área de cerca de 480 quilômetros quadrados e está localizada a cerca de 300 km ao sul de Khajuraho, nas montanhas Vindhya. O parque é considerado um dos locais mais confiáveis ​​para observar tigres selvagens.

A paisagem montanhosa é dominada por um planalto onde ficava o forte dos Marajás. Perto estão pastagens ricas em caça, originárias de pântanos criados para proteger o forte. Alguns desses pântanos ainda existem. As florestas de sal dominam o resto. 

A espécie animal mais conhecida no parque é o tigre de Bengala, dos quais quase 50 animais morou no parque em 1997. Os grandes felinos não são tímidos e podem ser observados particularmente bem aqui.

Um tigre branco foi capturado nesta área em 1957, cujos filhotes podem ser vistos em zoológicos e circos em todo o mundo. Outras espécies predadoras na área incluem leopardo, hiena listrada, urso-preguiça, cão , gato de junco, chacal dourado, musang manchado e mangusto indiano.

Para fazer a diferença hoje, aumente a conscientização sobre esses lindos animais e participe de um Tiger Safari ou Tour.

Como chegar: A Reserva Durminskoye fica a cerca de duas horas de carro de Khabarovsk, na parte sudeste da Rússia, em Khabarovsk Krai.

# 3 Reserva de Tigres de Satpura, Madhya Pradesh, Índia

Saptura Tiger Reserve é um lugar maravilhoso em Madhya Pradesh. No entanto, é duvidoso ver Tiger porque existem apenas 50 tigres nos 1200 kmXNUMX do Parque Nacional. 

Embora as chances de avistamentos de tigres na Reserva de Tigres de Satpura não sejam as maiores, o parque oferece safáris a pé, uma forma única de vivenciar animais selvagens . 

Este é um tipo diferente de santuário de tigres, com muitas diferenças de altitude e uma vegetação deslumbrante, que lembra as belas florestas de Robert Frost. Há muita vida selvagem aqui. É sem dúvida um lugar subestimado mas maravilhoso que vale a pena visitar. O caminho até o local através das montanhas é incrivelmente panorâmico.

Como chegar: A Reserva de Tigres de Satpura, também conhecida como Parque Nacional de Satpura, está localizada no distrito indiano de Hoshangabad, em Madhya Pradesh.

#4 Parque Nacional de Ranthambhore, Rajastão, Índia

A Reserva de Tigres de Ranthambhore é uma das 53 reservas de tigres da Índia. A reserva inclui o Parque Nacional Ranthambhore, a Reserva de Caça Kaila Devi e outras pequenas unidades. No total, cobre uma área de 1335 km².

A área é conhecida pelos tigres de Bengala, que não são muito tímidos e podem ser facilmente observados mesmo durante o dia. Além disso, é uma das ocorrências mais ocidentais do grande listrado gato

Quem quiser ver um tigre em Ranthambhore com alguma certeza deve ter pelo menos 2 dias. No entanto, alguma sorte lhe pertence para enfrentar um dos grandes felinos listrados. É uma experiência extremamente emocionante!

Uma grande variedade de animais vive no parque. No entanto, o parque é famoso pelos seus tigres de Bengala. Esses animais perderam grande parte de sua timidez. Assim, as chances são mais do que boas de experimentar um tigre selvagem. Esses animais costumam aparecer aqui, mesmo durante o dia, e não se escondem atrás de arbustos ou na floresta. É bem possível que de repente um tigre atravesse o caminho. Claro, eles ainda têm respeito, isso também deve ser. 

Como chegar: As principais cidades mais próximas são Kota, 110 quilômetros a sudoeste, e Jaipur, 180 quilômetros a noroeste. O parque está localizado entre os rios Banas e Chambal.

# 5 Reserva de Tigres de Corbett, Uttarakhand, Índia

O Parque Nacional Corbett fica no estado indiano de Uttarakhand, no sopé do Himalaia. Seu nome é uma homenagem ao caçador e conservacionista britânico Jim Corbett, que foi fundamental no estabelecimento do primeiro parque nacional na Índia perto de Nainital em 1936. Interessante para Tiger Safari ou Tour.

Foi inicialmente chamado de Parque Nacional Hailey, mas em 1957 foi renomeado como Parque Nacional Corbett depois de ter sido temporariamente chamado de Parque Nacional Ramganga em 1952. O Parque Nacional Corbett cobre quase 521 quilômetros quadrados. Juntamente com a Área de Conservação Sonanadi adjacente, forma a Reserva Corbett Tiger, estabelecida em 1973 como parte do Projeto Tiger.

O maior rio do parque é o Ramganga, que deságua em um grande lago na fronteira oeste da reserva. Amplos vales e colinas caracterizam a paisagem. Uma cadeia de colinas corre de leste a oeste no meio da área. 

A principal forma de vegetação são as florestas salinas; em altitudes mais elevadas, existem também alguns povoamentos de pinheiros. Nas terras baixas, existem matas ribeirinhas, cujos povoamentos são interrompidos por pastagens denominadas “chaurs” pelos habitantes locais. Está aberto apenas de novembro a junho.

# 6 Parque Nacional Sundarbans e Reserva de Tigres, Bengala Ocidental, Índia

Bengala Ocidental é o lar de uma das maiores populações de tigres do mundo, com mais de 350 tigres em uma floresta de mangue de 140,000 mil hectares perto da fronteira com Bangladesh. É patrimônio mundial e os visitantes podem fazer safáris de barco. Um lugar muito famoso para Tiger Safari ou Tours.

Os Sundarbans são os manguezais mais extensos do mundo e os únicos onde vivem tigres de Bengala ao mesmo tempo. Eles são Patrimônio Natural Mundial da UNESCO desde 1987. 

O nome vem do bengali e significa “bela floresta”. Os Sundarbans cobrem uma área de 10,000 quilômetros quadrados no delta dos maiores rios do Sul da Ásia, o Ganges, o Brahmaputra e o Meghna. O estado indiano de Bengala Ocidental compartilha a área de mangue com Bangladesh.

Entre os mamíferos, o Tigre de Bengala também é destaque absoluto no Parque Nacional de Sundarbans. Atualmente, estima-se que existam entre 350 e 400 tigres de Bengala selvagens nos Sundarbans. Esta é a maior população de tigres remanescente em todo o mundo!

O Parque Nacional de Chitwan é o mais conhecido do país. É um Patrimônio Mundial da UNESCO e o primeiro parque nacional do Nepal. O safari de jipe ​​ao entardecer é muito popular, principalmente de manhã e à noite. As partes mais relaxadas do dia oferecem a melhor chance de ver um tigre.

#10 Reserva Durminskoye, região de Chabarowsk, Rússia

O majestoso Tigre Siberiano, encontrado principalmente no leste da Rússia ou no norte da China, é a maior espécie de tigre e gato do nosso planeta. Infelizmente é também o mais em perigo .  

Na década de 1940, eles foram caçados até à beira da extinção e só foram salvos devido à nova concessão de proteção aos tigres na Rússia em 1965. 

No entanto, com apenas cerca de 540 indivíduos restantes na natureza, a chance de ver um é pequena. A maioria dos passeios do Tiger Safari são baseados na Reserva Durminskoye, um santuário de vida selvagem de 50.000 acres a três horas de carro de Khabarovsk, no sudeste da Rússia. É o último habitat principal dos tigres siberianos.

Os safáris turísticos de tigres são organizados como passeios científicos, rastreando marcas de pug em motos de neve e na comida, montando armadilhas fotográficas e revisando imagens. O que mais está lá? Você pode ver lobos, linces, texugos, raposas e raptores. No verão, até os ursos negros asiáticos

• Rastreamento de tigres na Rússia
• Visite a Rússia

#11 Parque Nacional Zov Tigra, Primorsky Krai, Rússia

Outro esporte para Tiger Safaris na Rússia é o Parque Nacional Zov Tigra, no extremo leste da Rússia. Foi o primeiro parque nacional criado para tigres na Rússia. Os números atuais indicam que cerca de dez tigres residem na área protegida de cerca de 200 hectares. 

Os passeios de conservação do tigre permitem que visitantes e turistas sigam patrulhas anti-caça furtiva pelas montanhas e florestas, monitorando o comportamento dos tigres e rastreando tigres na natureza. 

Como chegar: O parque fica a cerca de 100 km a nordeste de Vladivostok . A maioria dos operadores turísticos oferece acomodação em Vladivostok e transporte para o parque. 

#12 Parque Nacional Kerinci Seblat, Sumatra, Indonésia

O Parque Nacional Kerinci Seblat tem o dobro do tamanho da famosa Ilha de Bali, muito conhecida pelos seus turistas. 

Contudo, o Parque Nacional oferece outro Avistamento, o Tigre de Sumatra . Cerca de 200 tigres vagam pela natureza, usando os turistas como um fator para salvar seu habitat e sobrevivência. 

Várias espécies caracterizam a fauna e a flora do Parque Nacional Kerinci Seblat. 

Numerosas espécies raras ou mesmo ameaçadas de extinção, como o tigre de Sumatra, o leopardo nublado, o leopardo das árvores, o rinoceronte de Sumatra, o urso malaio e a anta malaia, estão em casa no Parque Nacional Kerinci Seblat. 

Existem também cerca de 200 espécies de aves. Entre as mais de 4000 espécies de plantas que crescem no Parque Nacional Kerinci Seblat estão a reflora gigante, a raiz do titã, várias orquídeas e a edelweiss.

Como chegar: A entrada principal e o escritório do parque nacional ficam em Sungai Penuh. Lá você pode obter uma autorização de visita e encontrar guias de caminhadas. Alternativamente, as acomodações nos arredores do Parque Nacional Kerinci Seblat geralmente ajudam seus hóspedes a obter uma autorização de visita e guias de caminhadas confiáveis. Procure um Tiger Safari ou Tour.

Conheça os Tigres

Os habitats dos tigres são bastante diversos e podem ser encontrados em mais lugares do que você imagina! Eles vivem nas densas florestas da Sibéria e vagam pelas selvas da Malásia. Mas as coisas não vão bem para esses elegantes gatos de rapina. Embora o tigre não tenha inimigos naturais, está ameaçado de extinção. 

Porque os humanos o caçam e destroem seu habitat, que antes se estendia do Mar Cáspio ao Oceano Pacífico.

Você gosta de Gatos Grandes?  Dê uma olhada nos melhores lugares para ver Lince .

Existem seis subespécies de tigres. Leia sobre isso neste Tiger Safari ou guia turístico.

Caçadores ferozes

Tudo o que os tigres precisam para sobreviver são florestas, água e animais de presa suficientes. Os gatos predadores são adaptáveis ​​e podem facilmente lidar com diferenças significativas de temperatura.

Embora sejam geralmente mais pesados ​​que os leões, eles se movem de maneira mais suave e ágil. Os tigres também se sentem confortáveis ​​na água e são excelentes nadadores. Os tigres são animais solitários que vagam pelas florestas à noite em busca de presas. Depois caçam – dependendo do seu habitat – alces, javalis, antas, macacos ou peixes. A presa é morta com uma mordida direcionada no pescoço ou na garganta. Um adulto animal , que raramente chega aos 25 anos na natureza, precisa de até nove quilos de comida diariamente.

O gato mais gigante deste planeta

Cinco espécies de tigres ainda estão na natureza hoje, das nove subespécies anteriores. O maior deles é o tigre de Amur. Os machos adultos podem pesar até 300 quilos e atingir três metros de altura.

Seu nome vem do rio russo Amur, que atravessa a região de Transbaikalia, na Sibéria. O habitat do tigre siberiano, como também é chamado, originalmente se estendia do Lago Baikal ao Mar do Japão.

Milhares de pessoas ainda caçavam nas densas florestas há cem anos. Na década de 1940, restavam apenas cerca de 40 tigres de Amur. Hoje a população se recuperou um pouco. Ativistas do bem-estar animal estimam que existam cerca de 500 tigres de Amur no leste da Rússia e na fronteira com a China. Hoje eles se mudaram para uma área com cerca de metade do tamanho da Alemanha.

Ameaça do Tigre

Há pouco mais de cem anos, ainda existiam cerca de 100,000 mil tigres vivendo em grande parte da Ásia. Ainda existem cerca de 3900 animais; os tigres de Bali, Cáspio e Java estão extintos. Animais incríveis para um Tiger Safari ou Tour.

O tigre do sul da China é considerado extinto no deserto acessível. De acordo com o léxico de espécies do WWF, os especialistas presumem que existem apenas alguns indivíduos isolados, se é que existem. Portanto, a última esperança de preservação da espécie reside nos poucos animais dos zoológicos chineses. As cinco espécies restantes vivem agora em apenas 13 países da Ásia. A maioria deles é nativa da Índia, onde se estima que existam cerca de 1700 tigres.

O Fundo Mundial para a Natureza ( WWF ) assume que resta menos de dez por cento do habitat original. As razões são múltiplas. Por exemplo, recursos minerais como carvão ou petróleo são extraídos em algumas regiões. O desmatamento da floresta tropical também é um problema significativo, assim como o desenvolvimento de áreas inacessíveis por estradas.

Os caçadores furtivos também são um grande perigo. Eles caçam os tigres porque podem vender bem as partes do corpo dos grandes felinos. Porque garras, dentes, cérebro e outras partes são processados ​​​​em medicina na medicina tradicional chinesa e são muito procurados. Caçar tigres como troféus custou a vida de muitos animais, especialmente no século passado.

O Plano de Ação Global para Saúde Mental XNUMX-XNUMX da IUCN lista vermelha coloca o status de Tigre para em perigo : 

Todas as principais organizações conservacionistas estabeleceram programas de conservação de tigres. Até mesmo os estados onde vivem os tigres se declararam dispostos a fazer algo contra a extinção do gigante felino predador na Terra. Leia mais sobre isso neste artigo, Tiger Safari ou Tour.

Por exemplo, estão a ser criadas zonas de protecção e estão a ser destacados guardas florestais para deter os caçadores furtivos, entre outras coisas.

Remendos feitos de ossos de tigre e remendos feitos de ossos de tigre são medicamentos muito procurados.

Mas as organizações ambientais também estão a tentar fazer a diferença política. Por exemplo, estão a trabalhar para garantir que os recursos minerais sejam extraídos de forma mais sustentável. Os turistas também podem fazer algo pela proteção das espécies, não comprando lembranças ou remédios dos tigres.

As medidas das principais organizações de conservação da natureza mostram pelo menos pequenos sucessos. A população é estável com o tigre de Amur, e o tigre da Indochina pode sobreviver. Mas o perigo que os mais proeminentes gato grande do mundo morre ainda não foi banido de longe.

Quão perigosos são os tigres?

Aproximadamente 100 pessoas morrem todos os anos devido a ataques de tigres. Provavelmente, os próprios humanos são muitas vezes os culpados por isso, porque provocam os animais.

Para Tiger, o ser humano é um grande animal. E quando um animal está em seu recinto, o tigre quer caçá-lo porque tem um instinto de caça inato. 

No entanto, algumas pessoas podem entrar em um tigre ou leão gaiola sem ser atacado, por exemplo, domadores de circo. Eles conhecem bem seus animais e são como se fossem líderes. 

É por isso que os animais selvagens os respeitam. Mas se um treinador, por exemplo, tropeçar e perder a posição de poder, isso pode se tornar perigoso até para ele. Além disso, para tigres estranhos, ele não ousaria entrar na jaula. A propósito, na selva, os animais raramente atacam os humanos. Se, por exemplo, um tubarão fere um surfista, é apenas porque o confunde com uma foca. Você pode ver isso porque, ao contrário de suas presas habituais, ele não a come. 

Tigres em zoológicos e parques nacionais

Os animais selvagens impõem exigências excepcionalmente elevadas à sua manutenção e alojamento. Num empreendimento circense, a guarda responsável de animais selvagens é geralmente impossível.

No entanto, animais de espécies selvagens ainda podem ser vistos em muitas operações de circo que viajam pelo mundo: tigres, leões, elefantes, rinocerontes, girafas, leões marinhos ou macacos – a variedade de espécies animais transportadas é extensa. Animais selvagens sofrem no circo. Eles sofrem enormemente porque:

• Realizar proezas para as quais são frequentemente treinados à força,
• Tem que mudar de local 50 vezes por ano, em média,
• Passam a maior parte do tempo em pequenas gaiolas, recintos inadequados ou no vagão de transporte,
• Que comportamentos essenciais específicos da espécie, como contactos sociais ou movimentos, sejam consideravelmente restringidos ou tornados completamente impossíveis,
• que eles têm pouca variedade ou ocupação,
• que muitas vezes não são alimentados e cuidados adequadamente,
• Que o controle ou cuidados veterinários são muitas vezes inadequados porque existem apenas alguns veterinários especializados em animais selvagens em todo o país ou o circo não pode ou não quer pagar financeiramente pelo tratamento,
• que em muitos casos os operadores de circo não possuem os conhecimentos necessários,
• que não há quartéis fixos de inverno durante o período livre de jogos. Apenas cerca de uma em cada dez empresas pode considerar uma acomodação de inverno como sua.

As consequências para os animais são fatais: danos massivos à saúde, graves distúrbios comportamentais e aumento da mortalidade. Este Tiger Safari ou guia turístico deve destacar apenas lugares sustentáveis ​​para visitar.

O tigre é a maior e, ao mesmo tempo, a espécie mais pesada da família dos felinos. Das nove subespécies conhecidas, apenas seis vivem com o tigre de Bengala, o tigre da Indochina, o tigre da Malásia, o tigre siberiano, o tigre do sul da China e o tigre de Sumatra.

A principal razão para o declínio substancial da população de tigres é e continua sendo a caça humana. Os órgãos do tigre são considerados remédios na medicina chinesa. No mercado negro ilegal, os produtos feitos de pólvora de tigre atingem preços de muitos milhares de euros.

There was a time when you could see wild Tigers all over Asia, but now they are driven back into only 13 countries, with some projects in places like Africa to re-introduce them to the wild. The tiger remains the largest living cat in the world and is simply magnificent to observe.

Best Places to See Tigers

We looked at the best places for tiger safari or global tours. You can see tigers in the wild in 13 different countries, but these 5 offer the highest sighting probability.

Do you want to find the best places to see tigers in the wild? Look at what we collected in the Tiger Safari or Tour guide.

#1 Kanha National Park, Madhya Pradesh, India

India offers one of the best Tiger spotting opportunities in the world, with over 50 Tier resorts called the "Tiger State." 

India is home to seventy percent of the world’s tiger population, with the Bengal tiger population at 2226 during the last census in 2014. The state of Madhya Pradesh is India’s Tiger State; it is located a few hours south of Deli. 

#2 Bandhavgarh National Park, Madhya Pradesh, India

• Bandhavgarh National Park Tours
• Driver Tours India
• Nature Safari India

Tiger Safari Operators: 

How to get there: Durminskoye Reserve is about two hours drive from Khabarovsk, in the Southeastern part of Russia in Khabarovsk Krai. 

To make a difference today, raise awareness for these beautiful animals and join a Tiger Safari or Tour.

A white tiger was caught in this area in 1957, whose offspring can be seen in zoos and circuses worldwide. Other predator species in the area include leopard, striped hyena, sloth bear, wild dog, reed cat, golden jackal, spotted musang, and Indian mongoose.

The best-known animal species in the park is the Bengal tiger, of which almost 50 animals lived in the park in 1997. The big cats are not shy and can be observed particularly well here.

The hilly landscape is dominated by a plateau on which once stood the fort of the Maharajas. Nearby are grasslands rich in game, originating from swamps once created to protect the fort. Some of these swamps still exist. Salt forests dominate the rest. 

The Bandhavgarh National Park is a national park in Madhya Pradesh, India. It covers an area of about 480 square kilometers and is located about 300 km south of Khajuraho in the Vindhya Mountains.  The park is considered one of the most reliable places to observe wild tigers.

#3 Satpura Tiger Reserve, Madhya Pradesh, India

• Satpura National Park Tours
• Pugdun Safaris

How to get there: The Satpura Tiger Reserve, also known as Satpura National Park, is located in the Indian district of Hoshangabad in Madhya Pradesh. 

This is a different kind of tiger sanctuary with many differences in altitude and gorgeous greenery, reminiscent of Robert Frost’s beautiful forests.

Because humans hunt it and destroy its habitat, which once stretched from the Caspian Sea to the Pacific Ocean.

Tiger habitats are pretty diverse and can be found in more places than you’d think! They live in Siberia’s dense forests and roam Malaysia’s jungles. But things are not going well for these elegant cats of prey. Although the tiger has no natural enemies, it is threatened with extinction.

Tiger Endangerment

The IUCN red list puts the Tiger status to endangered : 

Poachers are also a great danger. They hunt the tigers because they can sell the big cats’ body parts well. Because claws, teeth, brain, and other parts are processed into medicine in traditional Chinese medicine and are in great demand. Hunting tigers as trophies have cost many animals their lives, especially in the last century.

The World Wide Fund For Nature ( WWF ) assumes that less than ten percent of the original habitat is left. The reasons are manifold. For example, mineral resources such as coal or oil are extracted in some regions. Deforestation of the rainforest is also a significant problem, as is the development of inaccessible areas by roads.

The South Chinese tiger is considered extinct in the accessible wilderness. According to the WWF species lexicon, experts assume that there are only a few isolated individuals, if at all. Therefore, the last hope of preserving the species lies in the few animals in Chinese zoos. The remaining five species now live in only 13 countries in Asia. Most of them are native to India, where it is estimated that there are about 1700 tigers.

A little more than a hundred years ago, there were still about 100,000 tigers living in large parts of Asia . There are still about 3900 animals; the Bali, Caspian, and Java tigers are extinct. Amazing animals for a Tiger Safari or Tour.

How Dangerous are Tigers?

That is why wild animals respect them. But if a trainer, for example, stumbles and loses his position of power, it can become dangerous even for him. Also, to strange tigers, he would not dare to enter the cage. By the way, in the wilderness, animals only rarely attack humans. If, for example, a shark hurts a surfer, it is only because he mistakes him for a seal. You can see this because, unlike its usual prey, it does not eat it. 

Nevertheless, some people can go into a tiger or lion cage without being attacked, for example, tamers in the circus. They know their animals well and are something like the leader. 

For Tiger, a human being is a big animal. And when an animal is in its enclosure, the tiger wants to hunt it because he has an innate hunting instinct. 

Approximately 100 people die every year due to attacks by tigers. Probably, humans are often to blame for this themselves because they provoke the animals.

Tigers in Zoos and National Parks

The consequences for the animals are fatal: Massive damage to their health, severe behavioral disorders, and increased mortality.  This Tiger Safari or Tour guide should highlight only sustainable places to go.

• Perform feats for which they are often trained by force,
• Have to change venues 50 times a year on average,
• Spend most of their time in small cages, inadequate enclosures, or in the transport wagon,
• That essential species-specific behavior such as social contacts or movement are considerably restricted or made completely impossible,
• that they have little variety or occupation,
• that they are often not fed and cared for appropriately,
• That veterinary control or care is often inadequate because there are only a few specialized veterinarians for wild animals nationwide or the circus cannot or will not afford the treatment financially,
• that in many cases the circus operators lack the necessary expertise,
• that there is no fixed winter quarters during the play-free period. Only about every tenth company can call a winter accommodation its own.

Nevertheless, animals of wild species can still be seen in many circus operations that travel around the world: Tigers, lions, elephants, rhinoceroses, giraffes, sea lions or monkeys – the range of animal species carried along is extensive. Wild animals suffer in the circus. They suffer massively, because:

Wild animals make exceptionally high demands on their keeping and accommodation. In a circus enterprise, responsible keeping wild animals is generally impossible.
