The centerpiece of Tiger Kingdom is the large enclosure where these magnificent striped cats reside. But these aren’t ordinary enclosures – they are spacious, naturalistic habitats designed to mimic the tigers’ native environs with plenty of trees, vegetation, pools, and even a sizeable creek running through.These enclosures allow enough space for visitors to walk through and get to be up close and personal with the animals, while also being safe in the environment and watched by the guides. The tigers can often be spotted lounging in the sun, playfully batting at the creek’s waters, or exploring their territory with a lazy, graceful saunter.
Now of course, the highlight for most visitors is the opportunity to actually enter the tiger enclosure and spend quality time in the presence of these apex predators. But fear not, because extraordinary safety measures are in place to ensure this is an absolute secure experience with our lovely animals. Groups are up and closely monitored by all guides and are only allowed one by one with the pristine predators to ensure a safe adventure. The tigers are raised from birth to be comfortable around humans in controlled conditions like these and more.
