Gujarat is developing Asia's first desert-themed drive-through night safari and zoological park in Deesa, Banaskantha district. The project aims to position the region as a global wildlife attraction by offering an immersive experience combining conservation and tourism. The initiative is part of broader efforts to promote eco-tourism in the state.
The safari will allow visitors to explore the desert at night, featuring guided drives through enclosures with native wildlife. Officials highlight the project's focus on sustainability and education, aiming to raise awareness about desert ecosystems. Construction is expected to begin soon, with the site set to open to the public in the coming months.
The project has received support from local authorities and environmental experts. It is seen as a step toward diversifying Gujarat's tourism sector, which has traditionally relied on cultural and historical sites. The initiative also aligns with national goals to boost rural development through tourism.
No details on funding or visitor capacity have been disclosed. The project remains in the planning phase, with further updates anticipated in the near future.
