THE LIONS AND US

When my Emily, came on holidays here in my country, during the month of June recently. We went to Casela Natural Park. to spent the day. As my was keen to be live and in direct contact with the lions, so I bought the tickets and we got in the Lions' park. It was safe in there as the guards were in too but stayed a bit far from us, not to be in the photos but watching keenly over the lions' behaviors. A group of 10 persons, is allowed to go in, each time. There were several white and brown lions in there but very playful and not aggressive. We could get very near to them, touched, caressed them and sat beside them and took some photos with them too. When they went up the trees and sat on the branches as shown, we stood in front of them and by chance the white lion came on that branch too and we had the photos taken while the others in the group were with other lions in there.

It was thrilling really, I was a bit scared at first and my heart was pumping fast!!. !! . But my wasn't scared and was overwhelmed and we had enjoyed it so much. It was our first time for such adventure with the Lions. I hope our relative and eventual encounter posted on here, has given you an insight of The Casela Natural Park here, more photos of the Wild Cats in this Park, are on my blog, on my Page 8, which I had posted before.
Thanks so much for your read and views. I wish you all,
A VERY HAPPY SUNDAY.
Sincerely,
Lisa.

Wow, I didn't think there was a place where people could actually come in direct contact with lions and tigers. I'd love to touch one but it just seems too dangerous to me. Why are all the people carrying those long sticks? Loved all the pics Lisa.

Bijou dear,

The regulations of the Park stipulate it, the lions understand when one holds this special stick, means the person is the master and not them. So each one before entering the park, is given such a stick just to move around with it. But it is really safe in there, it's only a group of 10 people at a time. It's really thrilling cause there are many lions in there too and the guards are always stand by. These lions are use to visitors. Children under 15 yrs are not allowed in the lions' park. Thank you for your appreciation Bijou.
Have a pleasant subday.
Lisa.

Am so glad reading from you again. Than you so much for your appreciation and for your compliments too. It is such a thrill to be in the Lions park really. We used to go to this Nature Park very often but it was the first time we dared to enter the Lions park. My daughter wanted it so, to please her, we've tried it. But it was a very great excitement for sure and we had so enjoyed our day there. Thanks again Maudie. With my kind regards.
Enjoy your Sunday dear.

Dear Karin, lovely Lady,

How great reading your nice comments as usual on here. There are lost of other big cats in this park and it's wonderful to be with them as they are trained to with visitors, to walk and play with them. They were born in this park too, so since their cub-hood, they are use to human being, then trained as well. So it was a delight being with them there and they even walked towards us!!, Fearful, one may be but seeing their docile attitude, this assured and also having the guards around too. Thanks for appreciating the photos Karin.
Thank you greatly for your message to my daughter, she will appreciate it for sure. I wish you all my best Karin.
Have a lovely day.
Lisa.

Lisa dear,
I feel really scared MLLD to see you and emmy so close to the lions. May be these animals are accustomed to humans Yet it is always better to remain at the safe side while visiting such parks. Do not consider me a coward. You know what I want to tell you and why.
Wonderful and memorable pictures! Thanks for sharing.
Wishing you the best of everything and kind regards.,Lisa Mlld.
look.

Looklook hello,

Please, don't be scared about the event of us ( my daughter and me) being in the lion's park. We have been to the park several times before and have well observed the behaviors of these trained wild cats and moreover everyday there are lots of people going in there, lots of tourists really, they go to this park mainly for this activity. Thank you for your concern and your advice, I appreciate it. I do not consider anyone a coward for not having doing this activity but it's scariness, the feelings and the mental play a big role in it. But being right there and watching several groups going in, this really changes everything to a thrill and excitement. Wishing you a pleasant day.
Kind regards,
Lisa.
