“A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY TO GO STRAIGHT ONTO THE
BUCKET LIST.”
For once the words “a walk on the wild side” are worthy of putting on your bucket list. Join us for the surreal experience of walking with
fully-grown African lions. And walk away with a deeper understanding of these incredible animals not through words, but through the
moments you share with them. You’ll meet your guides at reception and take a short walk into the bush where you’ll have a safety briefing.
When you’re ready, you’ll be joined by the rest of the team – and two lions! The walk takes you on a loop through the conservancy for about
45 minutes to an hour with photo opportunities along the way. Nerves are to be expected, but by the end of the walk you’ll feel like part of
the pride and be left with a memory you’ll never forget.
Learn about the majestic African lion without fences or game vehicles getting in the way.
ALL OUR GUIDES KNOW THE LIONS WELL. SO, THEY KNOW
THAT THE KEY TO A SAFE LION WALK IS RESPECTING THE
ANIMALS AND UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY ARE WILD
ANIMALS WHO ARE LETTING US SHARE IN THEIR COMPANY.
NO NEED TO BRING ALONG CAMERAS – ONE OF OUR
GUIDES WILL TAKE ALL THE PHOTOS YOU COULD EVER
NEED THAT WILL THEN BE EMAILED TO YOU AFTERWARDS.
IT’S AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE TO TELL YOUR FRIENDS
ABOUT – JUST AS LONG AS YOU’RE NOT LEFT
PERMANENTLY SPEECHLESS!
CONSERVATION
The core of everything we do at comes from a love of, and deep respect for, all animals and our natural world. Big Cat Experience, its
owners, and employees do not condone or support in any way, the act of caged lion hunting. In fact, all three of our adult lionesses are
spayed and cannot breed. Furthermore, we do not undertake in anyway any means of “cub petting” all interactions are with fully grown
adult lions.
But our procedures don’t stop there, we also ensure that follow-ups are conducted to ratify our commitment to the welfare and wellbeing
of our lions. In addition to this, we have a zero-tolerance policy for the inhumane treatment of any animal, whether within the conservancy
or beyond.
