1. A safari park is a zoo-like commercial tourist attraction where visitors can drive in their own vehicles and observe the wildlife, rather than viewing animals in cages or small enclosures. A safari park is a large area with enclosed areas (sometimes called paddocks). The enclosed areas may be separated by fences, ditches moats or walls. Each enclosed area will have a building for the animals that are kept in that enclosure. So if the safari park has elephants you will need an enclosure with an elephant house. Sometimes the vegeterian animals (plant eaters) are kept in one large enclosure and the carnivores (meat eaters) will be kept in their own enclosures. The landscape should be designed so that the animals can be seen from the viewing roads and the buildings and artificial hardscape are hidden behind trees and shrubs. All enclosures need ample water for the animals - so drainage is very important. Plants used should be planted with plants native to the animals country of origin (if the weather permits). Think of nature photographs and try and set up places where the animals can be photograped with a backdrop of trees and shrubs. Avoid plants that can poison animals. In elephant enclosures trees need to be protected from the animals. Your road layout should meander so that people can see all parts of the enclosures. Where people can drive through between enclosures you will need cattle grids or gates to prevent animals escaping. A plaza is normally a square surrounded by buildings. Some of the activities in a plaza are: Eating places put chairs and umbrellas out for their customers so they sit on the plaza and eat.
