Doesn't anyone realise you are participating in animal cruelty? Never heard of the canned hunting industry? ( www.cannedlion.org ) Lions are being bred for their offspring, the cubs are immediately taken from their mothers and handraised by humans so they get used to human beings. When they are seperated from their mothers, the lionesses come ...

WOW
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/15/09
ever touched a lion cub, fed a girraffe or just travelled through prides of lions, just the best place on earth, and this was the second visit, the first was even more impressive.
This place is fantastic. We had a great time getting up close to the animals. It's not everyday you get to play with Lion cubs and feed a Giraffe. The place is very clean with friendly staff and good facilities.
A MUST when visiting South Africa

HORRIBLE
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/11/08
I THINK IT IS SHAMEFULL THAT THE PLAYING WITH CUBS IS PERMITTED. WHERE ARE THE CUBS MOTHERS AND WHY WERE THEY TAKEN FROM THEIR MOTHERS? WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THESE CUBS ONCE THEY GROW TO BIG FOR HUMAS TO INTERACT WITH? DO YOU HONSTLY BELIEVE THAT THOSE CUBS GET ANY ENJOYMENT OUT OF BEING PAWED BY PEOPLE ALL DAY EVERYDAY

The lion cubs made it for us!!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/26/07
The set up is amazing for a start... You wind your way through a few large enclosures admiring the awesome prides of lions relaxing under the hot African skies, ending up at an oasis of a place where you can be refreshed with an ice cold beer or some cold-drinks and snacks for the kids... Then for the most highlighting experience of all... A few ...

It is a must see if you are in the Joburg area.

We love petting the lion cubs and the giraffes. The entrance price is reasonable. Make sure to visit in the morning when it is cooler and the animals are more awake.

A Wonderful Experience !
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/14/07
On the whole, the experience was well worth the effort and money. Being so close to these animals was a privilage. In the caged area with cubs, I wasn't aware that one cannot touch the head of the cubs without an aggressive response! It would be helpful to inform every guest, prior to entering this area. Otherwise, it was exciting to be able to stroke the 4 month old cubs.
