Big country with a lot to offer, the idea of train travel always the ideal way of getting around.
I don't agree with wild animals being made available for people to handle them as cute as they are. We have similar debates and upsets with wildlife in our country, born free stay free. Yes have places where you are able to see them in their natural habitat, look with your eyes or through the lens is my philosophy.
Lovely share and thanks for the information about this area @katrin-lux
