You can view the adult lions with a drive through the different Lion Camps

There are also other types of animals to see here including Giraffe. You can purchase animal food and from a platform feed the Giraffe. This was as good an experience as playing with the Lion Cubs

amazing animals, love it when you can see them up close, and feed them.

thanks for sharing, i think i should go sometime, looks lovely.

Two very memorable experiences for you and your family! Touching lion cubs and hand feeding giraffes is not an everyday opportunity, except maybe there. What a wonderful place to visit; thanks for sharing!

it's great to play with lions and giraffes 🦁

It really was fun. The lion cubs bite like puppies.

Beautiful, I love South Africa! It feels like home ❤ I have been to a place called Oudtshoorn in the Klein Karoo, Western Cape and done a Cheetah encounter - was amazing! Then went back a year or so later for christmas and played with the elephants and rode a camel, it was truly magnificent! Can't wait for next time! Thanks for sharing!

Oudtshoorn is a nice place to visit. I've only been there once. It is rather far from Johannesburg where we live. Sounds like you had a good time

That's so cool! I'm sure kids got a kick out of feeding a Giraffe.

They sure did. It was one of the nicest wildlife experiences that we have had. Especially feeding the giraffe. Its tongue is so funny. If I remember correctly, it was blue!

That’s wild!

The lions? How are you able to touch them? Were they put in a trance? The lions here in my country are even more vicious, do you also have a zoo in Pretoria?

These are hand raised lions, you can only touch the cubs. There have been two incidents when lions have killed two people here, one was a tourist who got out of his car for a photo, the other was an intruder who cut a hole in the fence to get in.

Wow okay I thought the lions were maybe spelled or something, thanks for really clarifying I don't know they can be dangerous.

really well photography in lion thanks for shearing

A lion is called a 'king of beasts' obviously for a reason.

Can't wait to be in that city. I love Africa
