Sajjangarh Biological Park | 13 Jul 2024

Sajjangarh Biological Park in Udaipur is anticipated to receive a pair of lions from Sakkarbaug Zoological Park in Junagadh, Gujarat, as part of an animal exchange initiative.

The lion safari project, with a budget of Rs 3.45 crore, aims to boost the attractiveness of the biological park established in 2015.
- Covering 26 hectares, the safari will include both a holding area and a display area for the lions, capable of accommodating up to eight lions.
In exchange, Sajjangarh Biological Park will provide Sakkarbaug Zoo with two pairs of foxes, one pair of hyenas, two pairs of jackals, a pair of wild cats, and two chinkaras.
The Central Zoo Authority approved the transfer of the lions in February 2024 to boost tourism in Udaipur by launching the lion safari before the year's end.
- Besides the lion safari, the biological park is also expanding its facilities to include a reptile section, a nocturnal animals’ section, and a leopard rescue center.

It is located in Udaipur (Rajasthan).
It is a part of Sajjangarh Palace (also known as Monsoon Palace) built in 1884.
- The Palace derived its name from Maharana Sajjan Singh, one of the rulers of the Mewar dynasty.
It is famous for chitals, panthers, hares, blue bulls (Nilgais), jackals, wild boars, hyenas, and sambhar.
