With a declining population in Africa of 80-90% the work that this team do to revive the Lion population is extremely important. The experience to walk,touch and be with Lions in their natural environment is one not to be missed. Great staff who make you very safe and welcome.

A well run conservation programme, with informed and passionate staff and very friendly lions! The ultimate goal of the organisation is great for rehabilitation of lions back into the wild.

Fantastic experience and opportunity to collaborate in the efforts to replenish the lion population in Africa. You have the opportunity of sahring with lions cubs that even though they are only 8-9 months old already are strong and demonstrate theirhunting abilities.
