Gir Lion Safari Tour

Gir Forest National Park is a wildlife sanctuary in Gujarat, western India. It was established to protect Asiatic lions, who frequent the fenced-off Devalia Safari Park, along with leopards and antelopes. Gir National Park is the only place in the world outside Africa where a lion can be seen in its natural habitat. The sanctuary is internationally acclaimed for successfully saving this precious species from the brink of extinction.
