Customer Reviews

The predator section is still good but however the cub section and botanical garden section by the braai area has degraded badly, the tuck shop is bare, the place seems to be going down. - Jorge


I am a South African and live in Gauteng. We had a German visitor and we took her to the Rhino and Lion park and it was really very nice. The little bit of off-road was very enjoyable for her. What I enjoyed was the fact that we still had to search the veld for animals. It was not just an obvious sighting. I was very impressed with what you had to offer. Thank you. - Theunis


It's been 10 years since I was last at the park. Although I was disappointed to see that cub petting was no longer available for my now 7 year old...the drive in and of itself is a treat. It is the only time you are almost always guaranteed to see lions, cheetah and rhinos in a semi-natural habitat. It was a great compliment to our travel to Kruger and I always recommend it to visitors. At the end we stopped for a pizza and cold drink and found the staff extremely friendly. - Clifton


We had a very pleasant experience. However, in the reptile area, there was a rock python that had escaped from its cage and was quite happy sitting on top of another cage, we did call the people in charge and they stated that he/she escapes regularly. This is a major concern and the problem needs to be sorted. - Beverley


Amazing place to visit! Will definitely visit again. Entry Fee: Great value for money. The gravel roads and facilities are well maintained. Staff: Extremely friendly and helpful. Restrooms: Very clean. Speed limit: Wouldn't want to drive faster, the slower you drive, the more you see. Easy to miss the tiny spiders in their webs or colorful butterflies if you go too fast. Animals: Everything and more. The cheetah and white lion camps were the highlight of our visit to the reserve. Yes, the lions are playful and curios. They do like to inspect some vehicles but didn't try to chew the tyres of the cars. Respect the animals and they respect you. - Vanessa
