The Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) has revived its long-stalled jungle safari project at Ajwa, aiming to launch the first phase by early 2024. After a failed public-private partnership, the VMC is now taking on the project independently, allocating Rs 10 crore for its development. The safari, spread across 150 acres, will initially feature herbivorous animals like spotted deer, blackbucks, and chinkaras, with visitors transported in open jeeps. The VMC is also exploring the possibility of introducing exotic animals, including wolves, hyenas, and swamp deer, to the safari and Sayajibaug Zoo.
