Last March 28, print, broadcast
and online media were invited to have a sneak peek of the newest and only
zipline ride with the tigers, the Kamikazoo. Kamikazoo is Zoobic Safari’s latest attraction wherein a capsule (cable
car made of welded wire) carrying about eight passengers will be dropped down
to a tiger sanctuary. But here’s the catch—chickens will be attached to the
capsule so that tigers will eagerly come near and gobble up the chickens around the
capsule!
Kamikazoo is somewhat similar to
the Tiger Safari but instead of an enclosed jeepney ride, you will be riding a capsule
on 130-meter long zipline. Then from a height of 10 meters, the capsule will
dropped to about one foot from the ground where the tigers are. Now that’s an
added thrill!
We were also given a chance to
enjoy the other attractions at Zoobic
Safari. Of course, there’s the Tiger
Safari—it was a one-of-a-kind experience to be able to come that close to tigers
in a “natural setting” and be able to feed them.
Another favorite of mine is the Croco Loco. Here, you can feed the crocodiles (there's so much of them!) with chicken meat dangling from a wooden pole/rod. It was
thrilling to see the crocodiles jumping for the bait!
Some of the attractions we
visited:
Zoobic
Cave – display of preserved exotic
animals such as Bengal cats, wild goats, etc
Forbidden
Cave - dark mini forest with a mini
hanging bridge (& a crocodile underneath!)
Close
Encounter – see numerous tigers up close
in their breeding
Savannah - tram will pass through the “savanna” where animals
such as ostriches, potbelly pigs, mountain goats, camels, etc roam around
Bone/Skin
Muzooeum – collection of skeletons and
preserved skin of rare animals such as sheep, deer, ostriches, crocodiles, etc
Aetas’
Trail – traditional Aeta village
showcasing their dance and indigenous items. An Aeta can also teach you to
shoot arrows for a minimal fee
Hip-Hop
Bay-A-Walk- we had fun hopping on cut tree
trunks with different elevations to go to the next attraction
They also have an animal show
displaying the trained animals’ antics. Zoobic Safari is definitely a fun place
to be for the whole family or for the whole barkada.
Zoobic Safari, the only tiger safari in the Philippines, is located at the
Subic Freeport Zone. For operating hours, directions on how to get there and
