Embark on an Unforgettable Adventure: Exploring the Majestic Lion and Safari, Johannesburg

I was in Johannesburg towards the end of June 2023. The weather during this time of the year is very pleasant and was perfect for a Jungle safari.

King of the Jungle!

I was in staying in a Hotel in Sandton and I asked the staff about nearest jungle safari. They told me about a Lion and Safari Park about 50 kms from the hotel and also referred me a taxi driver.

Fortunately, the taxi driver, Dimitre, also happened to be a certified tour guide and we were able to do the whole safari in our car inside the park. This was truly a great experience. Like an experienced tour guide, Dimitre took me to all the enclosures - Lions, Cheetahs, wild dogs, and the open wild. 

When the jungles comes together to drink. very proud of this picture!

The Lion and Safari Park, you will have the chance to witness the raw power and beauty of lions as they roam freely in their natural habitat. As you venture through the park, your senses will come alive with the sights, sounds, and smells of Africa. From graceful giraffes to playful zebras, each encounter promises to be a truly immersive experience.

I am watching you!

But it's not just about observing from a distance - at Lion and Safari Park, you can also partake in thrilling activities such as guided game drives or even walk with cheetahs under expert supervision. Imagine feeling your heart race as these magnificent creatures gracefully stride beside you.

Much bigger Zebras than I expected


For those seeking an even more intimate encounter with wildlife, the park offers exclusive opportunities for lion cub interactions. This once-in-a-lifetime experience allows you to cuddle up close to these adorable cubs while learning about their conservation efforts. For some reasons, the park has kept this on hold while I was there. Anyways, you should always leave something for the next time!!!

Beyond its captivating wildlife encounters, Lion and Safari Park also boasts stunning landscapes that will leave you in awe. Take a leisurely stroll through lush greenery or enjoy a picnic surrounded by breathtaking scenery.

Our ride - guess which one?

Whether you're an avid nature enthusiast or simply looking for an exhilarating adventure, Lion and Safari Park is sure to exceed your expectations. So pack your bags and get ready for an unforgettable journey into the wilds of Magaliesberg – where every moment is filled with wonder and excitement.

Best time to visit: All throughout the year
