The country’s first night safari park will be built in Lucknow’s Kukrail; the Supreme Court has granted approval! Experience the thrill of seeing lions in the dark.


A historic and very exciting news has come to light for the residents and wildlife lovers of Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh. The long awaited Kukrail Night Safari project has now received the final approval from the Supreme Court. With this project, Lucknow will now join the select cities of India where the unique facility of night safari will be available. The biggest feature of this safari is that tourists will now be able to experience the thrill of seeing lions, tigers and other wild animals in their natural habitat even in dense darkness.

What is the vision of Kukrail Night Safari?

This project is not only a big step for wildlife conservation, but will also prove to be a milestone for Lucknow in terms of tourism. The dense forests of Kukrail are being developed in such a way that it completely takes the form of an eco-friendly night safari. Here tourists will be taken in specially designed vehicles, which will be able to see the animals without disturbing them even in the dark. Experiencing the forest in the silence of the night and hearing the roar of lions closely is going to be a life-time experience for the tourists.

Strict security arrangements and use of modern technology

Wildlife experts and administration say that keeping in mind the safety of tourists and privacy of animals, state-of-the-art technology will be used in this entire area. Night-vision cameras, motion sensors and modern fencing will be installed for security to monitor animals in the safari. Apart from this, trained guides and security guards will also be present along with the vehicles during the safari so that there is no possibility of any untoward incident. This project is being developed on the lines of international level safari.

Lucknow will become global hub of tourism

After getting the green signal from the Supreme Court, the construction work is now expected to accelerate. Apart from the night safari, a huge biodiversity park and wildlife research center will also be built in this area, which will be a center of attraction for students and researchers. Starting Night Safari in Lucknow will not only create new employment opportunities at the local level, but it will also give a new identity to eco-tourism in Uttar Pradesh. Now the day is not far when Lucknow will be recognized across the world not only for its culture and food, but also for the country’s first night safari.
