Visitors to Lahore Safari Park will soon enjoy a truly unique experience — sipping coffee alongside giraffes. The park is preparing to launch Pakistan’s first-ever Giraffe Café, an innovative concept introduced to blend wildlife with leisure tourism.
The exciting initiative was highlighted by Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif, who said the project reflects the government’s vision to promote family-friendly recreational spaces and modernize tourism in the province. The Giraffe Café will offer visitors a chance to enjoy refreshments while observing giraffes up close in a safe, interactive environment.
According to park officials, the café is designed to meet international standards, ensuring animal welfare while providing a memorable experience for guests. Visitors will be able to watch and photograph giraffes from a close distance, making it an educational and entertaining attraction for families, especially children.
The Lahore Safari Park, already known for its wide range of wildlife, is continuously expanding its facilities to attract more visitors. The addition of the Giraffe Café is expected to boost tourism and support conservation awareness among the public. Officials also confirmed that trained staff and veterinarians will be available to ensure the animals’ comfort and safety.
Punjab CM Maryam Nawaz emphasized that such projects are part of a broader effort to promote eco-tourism and create inclusive spaces that combine nature with recreation. She added that the provincial government aims to develop Lahore Safari Park into a world-class destination that showcases Pakistan’s growing focus on sustainable wildlife tourism.
