I was the private-sector representative who had sparked my interest in purchasing these two animals. But we went through the procedure; the animals are seven months old and still in their infancy.
"I went in to purchase these animals in order to increase the value of tourism in our country." I wanted to enter the Safari World by ensuring that Ghana is the first country in West Africa, East Africa, and Central Africa, aside from South Africa, to have these animals.
"We wanted to be the first to have it, so I got both the male and female versions, and I've been wearing them for six months." "I brought expects from outside to build a safety cage for these animals so they don't become a danger to the public," Cheddar explained.
