History
Etawah Lion Safari was first proposed in 2006. Work was started in May 2012. The park was designed by Spanish company Art Urbà. At first, six lions were migrated to the park in 2014. In 2015 a deer safari, antelope safari, bear safari and leopard safari were added and the park was renamed as Etawah Safari Park. The deer safari was inaugurated on 6 October 2016 and the remaining safaris as well as the park itself were inaugurated on 1 June 2018. The park opened to the public on 24 November 2019 without the lion segment.
Safaris
Multiple safaris includes a lion safari, a deer safari, an antelope safari, a bear safari and a leopard safari. As of November 2019, the lion and leopard safaris are waiting for approval from the Central Zoo Authority (CZA).
Asiatic lion breeding centre
The Asiatic lion breeding centre has twelve breeding dens. It was started with eleven lions that arrived in September 2014 mostly from zoos of Gujarat. Four of the lions and five cubs died because of canine distemper, after which the lions were vaccinated by an imported vaccine from the US. As of December 2020, the center has nine cubs who are born there.
