Adviser to the Prime Minister on Climate Change Malik Amin Aslam said that all arrangements have been completed to house the big cats.
The wild animals reached the country on a special jet, he added.
Interestingly, the zoo's management had decided to auction surplus lion and tiger cubs owing to a lack of space in February.
At the time, 30 different types of tigers and lions, including their cubs, were present in the Lahore Safari Zoo.
