With a view of conserving tigers, an endangered species, the Tiger World was established with the intention of educating and inspiring people for conservation of natural treasures. Tragically, tigers have made their appearance in the endangered species list as early as in 1978. The number of 100,000 in the region of Asia at the turn of the century has drastically come down by as much as 98%.
The Tiger world is a place that provides a safe environment for these endangered animals as well as a safe set up for humans to observe these animals. The set up in countries such as Africa is slightly different as the safety factor of the public is quite unsatisfactory.
Tiger world can be found a mere 4km from 1-85 highway 152 in Rockwell, NC. The venue is an area that simulates a wilderness with grassy paths and walkways for visitors to stroll around. Ideal for school children, a family outing or for a church group, this is one place that allows you very close contact with the tigers as well as lions. There will always be an animal handler at hand to put an end to your queries and enlighten you about their habitats, feeding style or preferences.
During the week and weekdays, there are slightly different schedules offering a variety of activities. On certain days, a visitor can get a very up close encounter with the tigers as well as lions that will chase away your fear of these animals. The carnivore feeding safari allows visitors to view these creatures enjoying their meal of raw meat followed by an eloquent explanation about their behavioural traits. The night safari is yet another exciting way to discover the nocturnal behaviour of these animals where visitors can camp at a safe environment and watch the monkeys or the tiger cubs. This include the twilight tour and the ‘behind the scenes tour’.
Stay over at a
