The drive to get to the reserve is scenic and easy to navigate. The tickets office were very helpful. The driver started the drive in time, was very accommodating. He was very knowledgeable and professional. The reserve has a variety of animals that we were able to see and learn about. We did not get to see the lions because we went a day after the feeding so would recommend going on feeding day if you want a sighting of the lions.
A really great family friendly day out. Not a far drive from Johannesburg, loads of animals to see - you see them up close and in families and herds. Really great experience to see predator feeding. The reptile show was educational and entertaining and the show was hosted by a fantastic female host... I've never seen a female snake handler before. She really was amazing! The animals are all well taken care of and those in enclosures have a reasonable amount of space to roam. All staff were very helpful, welcoming and knowledgeable. The bike park was a nice extra touch! Kids enjoyed that too. We were really pleasantly surprised by this amazing place. Definitely a must visit for families with kids. Great value for the price. We only didn't get to visit the Wonder Caves because the times overlapped with other activities.
I love nature a lot. Being at this place felt like home. It’s a beautiful well looked after place. The views and the tranquility and being one with nature it’s an unexplainable feeling. Met a few lovely people and it was really beautiful. It’s definitely a place to visit with family and friends.
Great setting, great facilities, perfect for families and or couples. Great start point for cycling the Cradle. Central and secure, Plenty of parking. Cautious guards on duty. Wonderful restaurant setting. Highly recommended.
Guided game drive was really nice. My son especially enjoyed the experience. We visit often and do a self drive but the guided game drive is definitely a must!! Really nice about this reserve is you always seeing something, so my son didn't get board between long stretches of not seeing any animals.
Wonderful nature reserve experience for day visits or sleep overs. Its close and we have visited a few times, One can expect to see White and brown lions, Rhino, Sable, Zebra, Cheetah, Impala, vultures and more. The accommodation is always clean. We stayed in a log cabin with jacuzzi and we could hear the lions during the day and night.
You have to go there from 9 am until 5pm. Lot of things to do.. feeding times, wildlife sanctuary, snake and lizards, rhino sanctuary is opposite the road but you wall there, bird watching over the lake pathway & lovely restaurants with kdis playground and splash pools. Definitely a must!
This place will be amazing for kids parties and introducing them to animals. The enclosures are well kept and the animals well looked after. The road inside the big cats enclosures are best suted for a vehicle that has a higher ground clearance than usual. We went in a Audi and won't recommend it, but if you have a bakkie or SUV definitely try it out. Was a lovely day and will definitely go back.
The newly built arrival and entertainment area looks great. Pity that the caged animals haven't received an upgrade. The drive is good. We enjoyed the 4x4 sections and saw many animals.
This was my fourth visit to the Rhino and Lion Park and it is absolutely great. There is so much to see. Every 5km we would see animals, the wild cats that were hiding or sleeping all woke up during feeding time which was cool to watch. Entry to the park is R220.00 per person and schedule nothing less than 4 hours to drive around.
