Everland announced on the 24th that it will launch "Lost Valley Walking Safari," allowing visitors to explore its ecological safari "Lost Valley" on foot, from the 26th through the end of next month. This marks the first time Everland has opened its safari for walking tours.
The walking route spans approximately 1 kilometer through the herbivore habitat. During the program, Everland will open the areas where animals actually live. Visitors can freely walk throughout Lost Valley and observe 10 species of herbivores—including giraffes, rhinoceroses, elephants, and zebras—feeding and behaving up close.
Professional zookeepers will be stationed throughout Lost Valley to explain the animals' ecological characteristics, behavioral habits, and the importance of endangered species conservation. Multiple photo zones along the route will provide picture-taking opportunities.
Lost Valley Walking Safari is free and available through on-site queuing. To celebrate the opening, Everland will offer exploration completion badges on a first-come, first-served basis to visitors who experience the Walking Safari through next month's 2nd.
"Since visitors walk through the safari without riding exploration vehicles, they can leisurely observe animals' expressions and behaviors that are easy to miss otherwise," an Everland official said. "Visitors can also take memorable photos as if they were expedition members."
