Let us tell you that the country's first cheetah safari is going to be built in Kuno National Park. Cheetah safari is going to be developed here for tourists by including Kuno river area in Sesaipura. Its proposal was sent to the Central Zoo Authority of India, which got approval before the Kuno Festival. Now work on this will be started soon. This project is going to cost approximately Rs 50 crore. Reports say that in March 2023, Siyaya, who was later named Jwala, gave birth to four cubs, but only one of them survived. Jwala was also brought to Kuno National Park from Namibia.
