Elephant
& Camel Rides Featuring "Limba" from
the Bowmanville Zoo
Experiencing an elephant or camel trek reminds us all that
humans reliance on the internal combustion engine is only a recent
historical phenomena.
As you traverse high above the ground it harkens back to an age of
Maharajas aboard their favourite elephant or the desert tribes of the
Arabian Nights as they follow their nomadic existence.
Experience what it is to be at one with an animal. Feel the muscles roll
beneath you and the magnificent beauty of your beast of burden as you
experience the ride of a lifetime.
Two
of the greatest challenges facing captive elephants and camels are boredom and
physical activity.
The cardio vascular benefits of regular exercise, has been well
documented. In addition to the physical benefits to ride animals, the
interaction with people allows increased opportunities for mental
enrichment as they meet and greet the many riders and have opportunities
for gentle walks.
