If you’re searching for the ultimate day out, look no further than the Lion & Safari Park.
Just a short drive from both Johannesburg and Pretoria, this wildlife haven promises thrilling encounters and learning for the whole family.
THE LION AND SAFARI PARK: FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
The park offers both guided game drives and self-drive routes, so you can explore the environment at your own pace, according to Trip Advisor.
“The holidays are the perfect time for families to escape the hustle and bustle and immerse themselves in the beauty of South Africa’s wildlife,” says Shandor Larenty, Group Wildlife and Conservation Manager.
“The park offers a unique opportunity for visitors of all ages to connect with nature and create lasting memories together”.
BIG CATS AT THE LION AND SAFARI PARK
On weekends and public holidays, don’t miss the predator feeding sessions at midday and 3 pm. Visitors can watch as powerful lions leap for their lunch, a spectacle that will leave kids and adults wide-eyed.
As one recent visitor shared, “We were lucky to see the lions feeding at 3 pm, it was an awesome experience and highly recommended outing for the family”.
The Lion & Safari Park is designed with families in mind. Children can run wild in the outdoor play areas, have their faces painted, or hop onto a kiddie horse ride.
Budding conservationists will also love the Little Rangers educational programme, while animal lovers can hand-feed giraffes and even ostriches.
CHASING ADVENTURE
If you’re after more adventure, try quad biking, guided 4×4 game drives, or horseback safaris. There’s no shortage of excitement.
After a morning of exploring, families can also unwind at one of the park’s restaurants. Whether you’re after a quick bite or a sit-down meal, there’s something for every taste and budget.
Browse the Dome Shopping Experience before you head home, and you’ll find it packed with local crafts, souvenirs, and gifts for every pocket
