Lahore Safari
A Safari Zoo is established since 1996-2001 for public entertainment / recreation within the suitable environmental location, just 13 KM away from motorway link Thokar Niazbaig, Multan Road, Lahore. The Safari Zoo is offering stunning display of the animals and birds unique in this region.
The Woodland Wildlife Park was established in 1981 over 242 acres (98 ha) as a government funded public facility. In 1998, it was handed over to the Punjab Wildlife and Parks Department (PWPD) by the Forest Department. [1] In 2004, the largest walkthrough aviary of Pakistan was constructed in Woodland Wildlife Park and opened to public visitors. Boating and fishing facilities were also built near a lake. [1] In 2006, Government of Pakistan sanctioned 87 million Pakistani rupees to reconstruct the 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) road leading to the wildlife park. This development increased the accessibility to the facility.

A ticket system was introduced in the wildlife park so that the Lahore Zoo Safari could come a semi-autonomous, self-financed organization.
