Itinerary
After pick-ups, we make our way to the Lion & Safari Park, located north of Johannesburg in The Cradle of Humankind. After a brief safety talk, you’re taken on a 2-hour game drive in the predator enclosure in a specialised open safari vehicle. Return to the main centre to spend some time watching the young lion cubs and other animals. You can buy something to eat and drink at the Wetlands Restaurant (own cost) and the youngsters can play safely in the supervised kids’ playground. Pop into the 5 Dome Shopping Experience for a holiday shopping spree. You’ll find a wide range of locally-sourced African arts and crafts, jewellery, clothing and home-ware. After a lovely time at the safari park, your guide drops you back at your accommodation in Johannesburg.

Traveler reviews
Amazing - absolutely book it!
My adventure began when Nicholas picked me up at my hotel. He was so kind and had a great sense of humors, putting me at easy right away as a solo traveler. When we got to the park he took us to the ticket booth and helped us get acclimated with directions. The tour itself was unreal. Being so close to lions was an experience I never thought I’d have. Our guide Masan, was full of interesting facts, funny anecdotes and gave each of us the very best experience. He took pictures for me and helped create memories I’ll have for ever. I loved this experience and wish everyone had the opportunity to go.
Excellent experience!
Highly recommend this tour! The transfer service was easy and the guide was very knowledgeable. The park was beautiful, and had a coffee shop, connivence store and restaurant. We were able to see so many animals during our drive. Def worth the trip if you are staying in Johannesburg.
Enjoy Lions , Cheetahs and Leopards
This was a Very Informative and Educational experience. One gets to see the animals at a relatively close distance. Dusty, the tour guide, had many things that she had learned over 11 to 12 years of working there.
The Lion Park set the ROAR for the rest of the year. It was truly an awesome experience. I'll be back next year. Thank you! 🇺🇸
