Calauit Safari Park

Calauit Safari Park, formerly known as Calauit Game Preserve and Wildlife Sanctuary, is a 3,700-hectare land that is known for the thriving population of giraffes and zebras. Established on August 21, 1976, this park was an initiative of President Ferdinand Marcos during his regime when he brought the African wildlife from Kenya all the way to the lone island of Calauit in Busuanga. The zebras and the giraffes were more unconcerned to tourists. It was noticeable how they were oblivious to our presence. Neither could these creatures ignore the temptation brought by their food. The park gave us the opportunity to feed the giraffes. As the tour guide handed over a handful of branches to us, the gentle giants approached us and bent over their necks to reach for the leaves. It was a brief encounter with them. #newyearstrip#newphotographer#travelinspiration#springholiday#merrychristmas#scenicspotguide#unforgettableexperiences#nyedestinations#decembertravel#instagramworthydestinations#holidayvacation#tripinspired#happynewyear
