History
Etawah Lion Safari was first proposed in 2006.[3] Work was started in May 2012. The park was designed by Spanish company Art Urbà.[4] At first, six lions were migrated to the park in 2014.[contradictory] In 2015 a deer safari, antelope safari, bear safari and leopard safari were added and the park was renamed as Etawah Safari Park.[3] The deer safari was inaugurated on 6 October 2016[5][6] and the remaining safaris as well as the park itself were inaugurated on 1 June 2018.[7][8] The park opened to the public on 24 November 2019 without the lion segment.[citation needed]
