Calauit seemed to be a forgotten island. It had its share of fame during the Marcos administration when it was developed as an animal sanctuary. Yes, animals roam freely here and they have a Savannah where they can gather during the day. It’s a long boat ride to this island and not many animals are around. But visitors can get up close and personal with the residents of the islands — giraffe, zebra, etc. — by feeding them. It’s a taste of what Africa can offer, though nothing close to it, I guess.
Still, it’s better than just imagining what it would be like out in the wild.
