Lions are native to Africa, not South America. But here
at the Safari Park Zoo, the only park in Latin America where tourists
can see from a short distance six lions in a two-hectares large open
area, the lions are the biggest draw.
The roles, however, are reversed.
Inside the safari, tourists travel in a cage-like vehicle, and the lions
are free to examine them (with hungry curiosity, perhaps) and walk atop
the cages. It's a rare kind of thrill and, hopefully, entertaining for
both parties.
