Travelogues
This summer we headed to Cambridge, Ontario to visit the African Lion Safari Park! If you can’t go to the real one, try the one on this continent. African Lion Safari is a Canadian owned family business that was created to promote conservation. Cambridge is located on Hwy 401 between London and Toronto. There are decent accommodations close to the park, which opens at 10:00 AM. We decided to drive our vehicle through the park, rather than take the bus tour, for that’s the best way to experience the wildlife at your own leisure.

The
antelopes and the deer were a treat to watch while the cheetah and the
lions struck a magnificent pose and looked well fed; they better be! It
was a surreal experience to watch the animals roaming freely whilst you
are inside the cage, for once. The giraffes were awesome and would
gracefully bend down to peek into your vehicle, especially when people
were trying to feed them, much against the park rules. Zebra, Nilgai &
Himalayan Tahr roamed aplenty and watching the deer suddenly burst into a
stampede was an extraordinary sight for city slickers.
But the highlight
of the park were our distant cousins, the monkeys and baboons, who climbed
on every passing vehicle for a joy ride, bent and chewed on antennas and
looked ready for a spoil. After you are done feasting your eyes on
wildlife, there are other attractions including ‘Birds of Prey’ flying
demonstration, Parrot Paradise show, and Elephant Round-Up. And finally
for the kids, there is a neat water park, where you can cool off the rest
of the afternoon.
Toronto,
the true melting pot, home to over 100 ethnic cultures is just another
hour’s drive up Northeast. Downtown Toronto is fairly clean with broad
streets and shops there have a much vibrant feel unlike many other large
cities. A drive through Yonge Street in the heart of downtown is very
reassuring and gives the casual visitor plenty of opportunities to shop
for trinkets in the Yonge-Dundas square. Some of the major attractions are
the CN Tower and the Royal Ontario Museum. And if your taste buds are
itching to have ‘chaat’, then a visit to Gerrard Street can fulfill those
desires.
