Description

The Lion & Safari Park is located in the historic Cradle of Humankind, about a 30-45-minute from the city and the ideal private tour from Johannesburg. It is a protected conservation area with over 80 lions, including the famous white lions. It also has cheetah, hyena, wild dogs, various antelope, and tower of tame giraffe. The Lion and Safari Park, which relocated to the Cradle of Humankind in July 2016, provides guests with an unforgettable experience. Animal interactions, guided game drives, and self-drives are among the many exciting activities available at the new park. When you take this private informative guided tour, you will get up close and personal with some of Africa’s most beloved animals. Guests can also hand feed a variety of animals such as giraffes, ostriches, and various other antelope species that roam freely on the 600-hectare property and frequently visit the wetlands in front of ‘the Wetlands’ Bar and Restaurant.

Wonderful full day Kruger tour and big 5

Amazing all day trip into Kruger with Gustaf! We were in the park for about 8 hours including a 90 min lunch stop at the lovely restaurant inside the park. We saw lions, cheetahs, leopards, giraffe, elephants, hippos, impala and a whole other array of native animals and birds. Gustaf knew exactly where to go and when and we often beat the rush and were the first car there so it wasn’t crowded and we had a great view of the animals with time to take some quick snaps and then also enjoy viewing the animals themselves. The park is very well kept and clearly valued by all who work there. All the staff we met were so friendly and my family and I truly had the best day. Couldn’t have asked for more! Would recommend MoAfrika tours and Gustaf highly.

Lion park experience

Visiting the Lion Park was truly a fantastic experience! From the moment we arrived, everything was well organized and welcoming. Our guides, Cipo and Zuni, made the visit even more special. They were not only knowledgeable about the animals but also very friendly, ensuring that we felt comfortable and engaged throughout the tour.

Amazing experience

Carson was an amazing companion and I must say a valuable employee cos he nudged me to getting another ticket to Soweto tomorrow which I initially didn’t have plans on doing. The lion park experience was amazing with a super guide. A fantastic experience in summary.

Wonderful experience all around

Our driver was super knowledgeable of the area, providing all of the history and facts. He was so friendly and amazing driver too. The safari was incredible and will never forget it. We got up close and personal with a giraffe and saw a lot of animals. Our safari tour guide was awesome too. Highly recommend this tour!!! My family, including my 18 year old daughter had a wonderful time.
