Africa's Predators Up Close — Just 45 Minutes from Johannesburg
Lion & Safari Park
Come face-to-face with Africa's most iconic predators at the world-famous Lion & Safari Park. Just 45 minutes from Johannesburg, enjoy guided game drives through predator enclosures, walk with cheetahs, feed giraffes, and see rare white lions — the perfect family-friendly wildlife adventure.
The Lion & Safari Park in Broederstroom is one of Gauteng's most popular tourist attractions and a must-do for anyone visiting Johannesburg. Spread across hundreds of hectares in the Cradle of Humankind, this wildlife sanctuary is home to over 80 lions — including rare white lions — plus cheetahs, African wild dogs, hyenas, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, and over 30 other species. Unlike a traditional game reserve, the Lion & Safari Park offers close encounters that are simply impossible elsewhere. Drive through predator enclosures with lions just metres from your vehicle. Walk alongside cheetahs on a guided interaction. Hand-feed towering giraffes. It's wild Africa made accessible — and it's perfect for families with children of all ages.
