    Lion Park

    Posted by Kickback2tunes 9 December 2009

    Stay at a lion park in Johannesburg and get a chance to feed the animals, play with a lion cub or take a cheetah for a walk.

    Amazing opportunity to actually play with both normal and white lion cubs before they get big enough to bite. Then see the prides up close from your own car or a park tour vehicle, including a completely white pride.

    If you volunteer you get to interact with the animals much more than the standard park visitors. You can also stay at the park in some of their on site luxury tents.

    Pilansberg and Magaliesberg

    Posted by MattGraham 25 November 2009

    For those staying in Johannesburg, and want to get away from the malls and the bustle of the city then in easy driving distance are two great places. If wildlife is what you want to see and Kruger is too far away, then head to the Pilanesberg game reserve. You can see all of the 'Big Five' there, and is located in the fantastic crater of a former volcano. It is quite a distance for one night, so visitors could go to Sun City, which is very close to the game reserve.

    The other place near Johannesburg is Magaliesberg, which has a wide array of things to do.

    Lion Park

    Posted by Razorback 9 April 2007

    This is a park where they breed lions, both white and tawny, and the public can meet them.

    There are also hyenas, cheetahs, jackals, giraffes and several species of antelope.

    The biggest attraction is Touch-a-cub, where guests are welcome to stroke lion cubs. It's a real treat to be so close to these beautiful animals.
