Lion Park

Must visit place when in Johannesburg!! You would love to see the lions, cheetahs, ostriches & few other animals that too so close to you and the best part is that you are allowed to take your own vehicle inside the park to experience these beauties. This place is well maintained & also has a cozy cafe where you experience a giraffe roaming in the backyard & a store to buy some artifacts. Altogether a GREAT experience!!

Dusty our tour guide were extremely knowledgeable and very informative about all the animals we saw today. I hope she gets recognised as Employee of the month. Very clean premises. Would highly recommend this safari experienceVisited onWeekdayWait time1 hr+Reservation recommendedYes

Don't be afraid to visit this place if it's raining. In fact, The animals are extremely active during the rain as compared to a hot sunny day. In addition to that, the crowds are very small and you could end up getting virtually a private tour. So please don't be afraid to visit if it's raining. Pack a poncho, some comfortable shoes, and you'll be just fine. Even though the 2-hour option cost a little more, it is definitely worth it because this place is really large.

The park is not far from Pretoria and Johannesburg. Enjoyed the self drive which took us almost 2 hours. The park is huge and you are able to see the animals.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes

A great place with some good activities for the kids. Feeding the giraffe was a blast for the kids and the horse ride was great. Staff in general are really friendly and good with people. It’s a putty there are no more cubs that the kids could play with and have photos taken. The giraffe in itself was the winner in our books.

I am happy that the mighty Lion has this park to reside!! Be prepared to use your camera. Our tour guide gave us plenty of opportunities to take great pics and offer information about these awesome Lions and cheetahs!

The staff are very friendly and start the experience off in a fun and positive manner. The bathrooms are well maintained, with the cleaning staff being very friendly and making sure it stays clean. Plenty of parking that makes it accessible for all guests. The only downfall was the super small enclosures for the Hyenas. The other animals had a bigger area to roam and the Hyenas had a very tiny area that is not suitable.

i feel pretty sad after visiting this Park. the Leopards were in the small cage, i still wonder why dont they make it bigger? we asked the Ranger, he said "cos they dont need much space". yeah, not sure if a Leopard doesn't need a big space. ‍

It was a pleasure to spend time with my family during our visit. We opted for the self-drive option and were pleased to find that the road conditions were excellent for a 4x4 vehicle. Additionally, the location also offers a 4x4 trail for those looking for a more off-road adventure. Overall, it was a great experience and we look forward to returning in the future.

Fun place. Would recommend it for a family day. The kids love it. The self-drive safari is my preference. Go towards sunset to experience the animals being a bit more active. Thet tend to sleep throughout the day. They've recently added new activites, so check out their website. I've subtracted one point as I was disappointed by the food at the restaurant. Clearly reheated, not fresh on the day I went. Taste not great either. Restrooms: Good, clean, well maintained. Dog-friendliness: Nope. Dont bring your furry babies. Picnic area: Beautiful gardens
