Spotting exotic creatures in Pakawi Park

Water bottles full, safari outfit on, and cameras at the ready. Today, you will enter the domain of elephants, chimpanzees, giraffes, and zebras. Especially the big cats in all possible sizes steal the show: tigers, lions, lynxes, panthers, pumas, cheetahs,... 'Paka' is also Swahili for 'cat'. Need a break? Settle down in the safari cafeteria or the savanna bar (open in July and August). Plenty of choices for a satisfying bite and a drink.

Bike or drive to Pastorijstraat 1 in Olmen (1.8 km). Bicycle parking at the entrance along the canal. Car parking at the end of Polderstraat.
