Lion & Safari Park<br />
The Lion Park, an established tourist destination, well loved by locals and foreigners alike, became a popular experience for all over<br />
the last 50 years. Having moved to the Cradle of Humankind in July 2016, this new must-see world class facility, called Lion<br />
and Safari Park, offers guests a memorable experience.<br />
The new park offers a wealth of exciting activities such as animal interactions, guided game drives and<br />
self-drives. You are guaranteed to get super close to some of Africa’s favourite animals whether you<br />
go on an informative guided tour or self-drive. Guests also have the opportunity to engage in the<br />
experience of hand feeding a selection of animals including giraffes, ostriches and various other<br />
antelope species that roam freely on the 600-hectare property and frequently visit the wetlands in<br />
front of ‘the Wetlands’ Bar and Restaurant.<br />
The Lion & Safari Park is home to a vast selection of indigenous species such as lion (brown and<br />
white), cheetah, hyena (brown, spotted and striped), leopard (including black leopard), wild dogs,<br />
sable antelope, kudu, and nyala, to mention only a few.<br />
Guests can enjoy a variety of different guided tours. The trained guides turn every tour into an<br />
informative and educational trip as they share interesting facts. Tour options include; Lion &<br />
Wild Dog Tour, Mini Safari, Night tours (with predator feeding), Private Exclusive tours, Alex Tour,<br />
Cheetah and Lion Walks. The 3-hour Safari is the flagship tour which includes snacks and drinks on<br />
the bank of the Crocodile River. The famous animal trainer Alex Larenty promises to provide a fun-filled<br />
experience as he interacts with fully grown lions on the ‘Alex tour’.<br />
