GREAT WINTER<br />
BREAKS<br />
Winter is upon us, and with many people<br />
looking to take a mid-year break, we selected<br />
a few enjoyable winter getaways…from day<br />
trips to longer sojourns. So relax, light a fire<br />
and get your feet up, or take a cosy winter<br />
drive to some amazing places.<br />
Lion & Safari Park<br />
For those who live in Gauteng, North West or close by, the Lion & Safari<br />
Park, now located within the Cradle of Humankind complex, offers an<br />
ideal day-long getaway that will take your mind completely off your daily<br />
stresses.<br />
The Lion & Safari Park, is well-known to both local and foreign tourists,<br />
having become an amazing experience for all over the last 50 years. Having<br />
moved to a brand new world-class facility in the Cradle of Humankind<br />
in July 2016, the Lion and Safari Park offers guests an incredible day out.<br />
Immersed in the beautiful natural surroundings of the area, guests can<br />
experience guided game drives, safari drives or self-drives. Now is the time<br />
to explore and discover the untamed natural bushveld.<br />
Guests will be able to engage in the incredible experience of hand feeding<br />
a selection of animals including the graceful giraffes. The opportunity to<br />
interact with a multitude of animals, including cheetah, is also available at<br />
the park. Guided safari drives are one of the biggest attractions at the<br />
park, allowing visitors to experience a plethora of wildlife within their<br />
natural habitat. The tour options vary in length, depending on your time<br />
schedule from 45-minute guided drives to 3-hour safari drives. Self-drive is<br />
also now available, allowing you to drive your own vehicle through the lion<br />
and wild dog enclosures.<br />
Guests can also enjoy a scrumptious meal at one of the top-class<br />
restaurants while at the same time viewing various wildlife species grazing<br />
and drinking in their natural habitat. No visit to the park will be complete<br />
without a stop at the Wetlands Bar. The view overlooking the wetlands is<br />
nothing short of breath taking.<br />
Nestled amongst the foothills of the magnificent Magaliesberg Mountains,<br />
a mere 10-minute drive from Lanseria Airport, off the scenic R512 towards<br />
Hartbeespoort dam, the park is within the Cradle of Humankind area,<br />
a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The new location, now boasting 600<br />
hectares of open land, allows the animals more space to roam freely.<br />
