The modern tourist has special requirements for excursion programs. Just walking around the picturesque corners of our planet, listening to the same memorized story about the history of a place from year to year, taking pictures against the background of sights and rare exhibits - all this no longer arouses enthusiastic interest among travelers.
Today, give a tourist vivid impressions that he has not experienced before. This can only be ensured by modern extreme attractions and travel to hitherto unexplored places. Travel companies, in pursuit of a client, are ready to come up with all new excursion programs, sending "adrenaline-hungry" tourists to the most amazing places on the planet, "throwing" them into a cage with lions and terrifying with the most creepy stories.
Let's try to figure out together what kind of excursion tours can diversify our leisure time, replenish personal photo albums and give new, incomparable sensations.
Alone with predators
How do you feel about bloodthirsty lions, dangerous tigers and other representatives of the world of predators? Do you feel a thrill from one glance of a graceful cheetah, or do you enthusiastically observe their behavior? Today absolutely any tourist can test himself, “tickle his nerves” and feel what our ancestors felt, being alone with predators and other representatives of the animal kingdom. And any travel company that cooperates with the California Wildlife Park can help implement this seemingly complex project.
It is there that hundreds of people who want to be in close proximity to dangerous animals go. The excursion, which is known as "Roar and Snoring", includes not only the standard walking along the cages and pavilions with animals, but also spending the night in small tents. This is what makes the tour unique, allows you to feel alone with nature and wild animals.
Your "neighbors" for one night will be zebras, cheetahs, buffaloes, tigers and even lions. You will be able to become a direct eyewitness of the hunting process, see with your own eyes how predators become more active with the onset of darkness, and what safety measures are taken by their potential victims. So don't forget to bring your video equipment. Believe me, by visiting the San Diego Animal Park, you will have something to remember and tell when you return home.
