In Praise of SafariPedia
When it comes to accurate, quality models and figures, the enthusiastic team members at Safari Ltd have built up quite a reputation amongst collectors, educationalists, parents, grandparents of course, children. Within the prehistoric animal model range, the company can boast a number of award winners. For example, recently, the Wild Safari Prehistoric World Iguanodon model was voted the best prehistoric animal toy figure released in 2016 by readers of the influential “Prehistoric Times” magazine.

This accolade follows on from similar recognition being awarded to the company’s excellent Sauropelta. Back in 2015, in a survey of the best prehistoric animals undertaken by “The Dinosaur Toy Forum”, Safari Ltd models occupied three of the top eight places. The model of the armoured dinosaur Sauropelta came out on top. Once again, dinosaur fans and collectors were recognising the efforts the company puts in when it comes to designing figures.
We congratulate Safari Ltd.

Toys That Teach
Safari Ltd’s philosophy is to create models that excite, fire the imagination and educate. After all, you can learn whilst having fun.
At Everything Dinosaur we share this mindset and as we prepare for another busy week of delivering dinosaur and fossil themed workshops in schools, it is worth reflecting on the contribution to children’s education that organisations like Safari Ltd make. For instance, the company provides an educational resource which allows visitors to learn more about the animals that inspire the Safari Ltd design team. Entitled “SafariPedia”, the company has developed the concept of providing “toys that teach” and introduced a database that provides interesting facts and information about the animals in their range.
The “SafariPedia” portal is divided into various categories, in essence it reflects the main product lines of the company. There is a farm section, fantasy, a dogs and cats category, a section on birds, sea life and of course wildlife. Our attention was drawn to the “dinosaurs” section of the portal. Like all the various categories that make up the “SafariPedia” database, the prehistoric animals are listed alphabetically and when the name of any ancient creature is clicked, a new page opens up providing lots of information about that particular animal. This resource is a great addition to the company’s prehistoric animal model range.

We are sure that “Bernie”, the company’s alligator mascot would be proud, yes, there is even a section all about unusual alligators in the “SafariPedia” (look up albino alligators in the wildlife category).
A Great Prehistoric Animal Model Educational Resource
The “SafariPedia” concept elevates the company’s product range and demonstrates their commitment to education and to learning via creative play. It is an excellent resource for schools, home educationalists and for parents, as well as for model collectors keen to find out more about the animals and creatures that their figures represent. Our congratulations to Safari Ltd, to all their dedicated and hard-working staff who have taken their passion for what they do to the next level.
