CDA to Open a Wildlife Safari Park in Islamabad!

  • CDA plans to develop a wildlife safari park in Islamabad.
  • The safari park aims to provide close encounters with wildlife.
  • Both projects are scheduled to start in the next fiscal year.
The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has unveiled ambitious plans to introduce a wildlife safari park and ‘Pakistan Street’ in Islamabad, aiming to elevate recreational and conservation offerings in the region.

During a recent meeting led by CDA Chairman Muhammad Ali Randhawa and attended by senior officials, the decision to develop a wildlife safari park with a ‘jungle theme’ was approved. This park will feature tree houses to provide visitors with up-close encounters with wildlife, along with an animal rehabilitation center to underscore its conservation efforts.

A dedicated technical team has been assigned to formulate a comprehensive feasibility report for this venture, with Chairman Randhawa emphasizing the need to benchmark against international safari park standards to ensure world-class quality.

In addition to the safari park, the CDA’s plans include the launch of ‘Pakistan Street,’ a culinary project showcasing international food outlets. This initiative aims to enrich the dining experience for residents and tourists alike by offering a diverse array of dining options.

“These projects underscore our commitment to developing cutting-edge facilities that not only entertain but also champion wildlife conservation and cultural enrichment,” stated Chairman Randhawa, highlighting the CDA’s multifaceted approach towards city development.
