This is your chance to see lions in their natural habitat without getting too far into Africa. These big wild cats have been provided with a high quality life in authentic surroundings. The lion park is about 30 minutes drive from Cape Town, and offers picturesque views of Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl. A refreshment centre and curio shop give visitors a chance to relax under a rustic thatch-roofed building with an open-air viewing deck. For a more exciting experience, a 150-metre catwalk extends right over the lion camps, offering a close encounter with these magnificent beasts.

MAGNIFICENT LIONS
WE ONLY VISITED THIS FACILITY AFTER WE FOUND IT TO BE A RESCUE CENTRE RATHER THAN A RUN OF THE MILL GAME RESERVE. THE RESULT ONE OF THE MOST HEART WARMING EXPERIENCES OF MY LIFE. THE "RESIDENTS" ARE ALL LIONS WHICH ARE UNABLE TO BE RE-INTRODUCED TO THE WILD AND THEY ARE CARED FOR SUPERBLY. A GREAT CREDIT TO THE OWNERS AND I CANNOT RECOMMEND HIGHLY ENOUGH FOR ANYONE WANTING TO EXPERIENCE LIONS AT CLOSE QUARTERS
Would you recommend this to a friend?
Yes

Why? / Why Not?
THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE PROVES HOW MUCH WE, AS THE DOMINANT CREATURE OF THIS WORLD, SHOULD USE OUR EVERY BONE TO PROTECT SUCH MAGNIFICENT ANIMALS
