Pakistan plans to develop its first international-standard wildlife safari park on a 350-acre site in Islamabad, aiming to promote conservation, eco-tourism, and sustainable development.
Pakistan is moving forward with plans to establish its first world-class wildlife safari park, marking a significant milestone in the country’s conservation and tourism efforts. The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has finalized a 350-acre site at Malpur Forestry Park near Bara Kahu and Murree Road in Islamabad for the ambitious project.
Designed to meet international standards, the safari park will feature multiple themed zones where animals can live in spacious, natural-style habitats. The initiative aims to enhance wildlife conservation, protect biodiversity, and provide visitors with an immersive educational experience focused on environmental awareness.
Officials expect the safari park to become one of Islamabad’s leading tourist attractions, welcoming families, students, researchers, and international visitors. Beyond recreation, the project is intended to encourage responsible tourism while highlighting the importance of preserving Pakistan’s natural heritage.
The development is also expected to generate employment opportunities, support local businesses, and strengthen Pakistan’s reputation as an emerging eco-tourism destination. The initiative reflects the country’s broader commitment to sustainable development and long-term wildlife protection.
According to publicly available reports, planning for the project has been finalized, with further development expected to proceed in phases. Once completed, the safari park could become a landmark destination that combines conservation, education, and tourism under one world-class facility.
