Customer Reviews

The guide book makes no mention of the close up areas where the lions etc could be seen. We drove through the wild dogs and the white and brown lion enclosures but didn't see anything. Very disappointing. - Pauline


Always an awesome place to go and visit - Lucielle


We saw a lot of Rhino's very close by. Roads were good after all that rain. I was a pleasant day. - Katja


Was a wonderful drive. Really enjoyed the feedings and snake interactions. - Hugo


We brought a group from the US. The experience was wonderful! I would highly recommend this for anyone! - Justin
