Tiger Camp is divided clearly into areas including an interactive sightseeing area and a performance area. The most crowded and attractive site is the tiger breeding area. Not only visitors can observe from afar but can also carry, feed and photograph with baby tigers. Especially, you can experience the feeling of holding a gun not to hunt tigers but to feed them at the Shoot ‘N’ Feed area.
The tiger habitat area is a place where visitors will see big tigers locked in a cage with thick glass sheets. Although it looks dangerous, this experience is extremely safe and brings excitement to visitors. Not only that, visitors can also witness a "unique" scene: the pigs and tigers living in peace altogether. You will see the cute little piglets sucking tiger milk and vice versa. According to the guide, any tiger fed with pig milk will become gentler while the pigs fed with tiger milk will be stronger.
