Great Experience!

The experience exceeded expectations. Our driver Pollen was excellent and added many cultural and local perspectives. The park itself had numerous opportunities to see various animals close up in natural type habitat. Dana, our park guide and driver had vast animal knowledge and added considerable value.

Up close Lion Safari Park near Johannesburg

We had a wonderful time! From the start where we were picked up right on time at our hotel with our driver Lebo. Then an exciting 2 hour safari ride in which we experienced up close lions cheetahs African wild dogs, hyenas giraffes impalas warthogs and more, relaxed with a little shopping and then a peaceful ride back to our hotel in Johannesburg .All we needed to do was call their number and they did the rest! Thanks for a great experience! We will tell all our friends about what a great time we had!! Jeff and Karen

More than a Lion Park

Had a great trip to the lion park. Also saw white lions, black and spotted leopards, giraffes, hyenas etc. Our driver was very knowledgeable.

Good way ro see lions up close

Nicolas the driver was friendly, punctual and helpful. Sadly my final day in Johannesburg was messed up as I booked this tour due to the timings ( which were confirmed) and I was told pick up would be 8.00. The day before I was told due to a large group we would now be moved to 10.00. We did not get back to joberg until 15.30 as hit rush hour traffic giving me no time to do my planned afternoon. Lion park itself was wrll organised, clean amd a fun way ro see lots of lions amd other animals. It was great that the humans travelled by cage while the lions had lota of space despite being in enclosures. What felt less good was the 2 leopards that appeared to be in a very small enclosure and more like a zoo. Overall this isn't an authentic gamedrive but worth a visit if short on time and want to see lions up close.

An enjoyable way to spend...

An enjoyable way to spend half a day or so. We were picked up from our Johannesburg hotel and driven to the park where we had a short wait before the tour itself started. Our driver/guide was very knowledgeable and the park is set out to allow very close access to most of the animals.
