Up-Close Encounters While Roaming Lost Valley
On Foot Instead of Traditional Safari Vehicles
Limited-Time Operation Until March 31
Everland, operated by the Resort Division of Samsung C&T, will introduce a unique animal experience program, the "Lost Valley Walking Safari," where visitors can walk directly into a living, breathing safari environment, for about one month starting on February 26.
This Walking Safari is a special program that allows visitors to freely explore the ecological safari "Lost Valley" on foot instead of by exploration vehicle. Its key feature is that visitors can walk through the safari and closely observe animals that they could normally only encounter while riding in vehicles.
The walking route is about 1 km long, and visitors can freely stroll through various areas of Lost Valley and observe 10 different animal species up close, including giraffes, rhinoceroses, elephants, and zebras.
In particular, the actual living spaces of the animals are opened as they are, allowing visitors to witness vivid movements such as herbivores feeding.
Throughout Lost Valley, explanations from professional zookeepers are provided, enabling visitors to naturally learn about the animals' ecological characteristics, behavioral habits, and the importance of conserving endangered species.
Since visitors walk through the safari instead of riding in exploration vehicles, they can take their time observing subtle expressions and behaviors of the animals that are easy to miss, and various photo spots are also available.
The Lost Valley Walking Safari is free of charge and open to everyone through an on-site queuing system. This program will be operated only for a limited period until March 31.
To commemorate the opening, from February 26 to March 2, visitors who experience the Lost Valley Walking Safari will receive an exploration completion badge on a first-come, first-served basis.
Meanwhile, "Safari World," the predator safari that has been part of Everland since its opening for 50 years, began renewal work on February 19 to create an ecological environment that places top priority on animal welfare and to provide customers with new experiences.
Everland plans to complete the spatial renewal and facility upgrades so that animal behavioral characteristics can be observed in a more natural way, and unveil a further evolved Safari World in early April.
