A game park in South Africa has this special ride for tourists.....
From the looks of it.....the experience must have been both frightening & awesome....
Makes me wonder if "Caged Animals" also feel like us humans (depends on who is in & who is out)

Looks interesting. I think there was something similar in a tiger reserve, somewhere near Bangalore way back in about 1984. But I am not sure if it was something like this as I had never been there.

Bennargahtta in Bangalore has an open air Tiger Reserve, where visitors are taken around in a Van covered with wire mesh, but nothing like what you see in the pic above.

I've been to Bennargatta in 1990. It was a secured van and not like the above.
The above pic kind of experience would be very nice.

Good pic again Brihaji!! You rock as always!!
While observing the pic closely noted that the big-cats are not interested in the people inside at all, except for the one in green dress, with while gloves, at the tail end of the van.. probably ready to feed them with some favorite meat!!
Was just wondering how the lioness climbed on top of the mesh cage. Though its not uncommon for them to climb trees, climbing the mesh cage is a different thing altogether. Probably they could be able to do it in a wild moment which doesn't seem to be the case here.
Regards,
Pradeep

The last thing you want is a run down battery that requires the vehicle to be push start.

That, Brihaji, is an awesome pic! An exciting, albeit scary, experience, I'll bet!
Look at the lioness sitting for her pic! Looks like she's ready to play "fetch"!!
Cheers!
