- The transfer of Madhubala to the Safari Park is expected to take place within the next month.
- The shrine is already prepared and ready to welcome Madhubala.
In a heartening development, Karachi Zoo's beloved elephant, Madhubala, is preparing to move to a new sanctuary at the Safari Park, courtesy of Four Paws. The Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) has completed preparations for the transfer, which is expected to take place soon.
Four Paws has set up a state-of-the-art sanctuary at the Safari Park, specially designed to provide Madhubala with a comfortable and natural environment. Two more elephants, Malaika and Sonia, already live in the enclosure, and Madhubala's arrival will bring the total number of elephants to three.
To ensure a smooth transition, Madhubala's enclosure at the Karachi Zoo was equipped with a container to train her for the move. The elephant enters and exits the container three to four times a day, signaling its readiness to move.
The decision to relocate Madhubala was taken after her companion Noor Jahan died in April last year. With the support of Four Paws and KMC, Madhubala will soon join her new herd at the Safari Park where she will receive the care and social interaction she needs.
“The sanctuary for Madhubala at the Safari Park is being built with the support of Four Paws. We are excited to provide a new home for our beloved elephant and we believe she will thrive in her new environment.” – KMC officials
