We had the amazing privilege today of a Private Tour around Bagamoya Lion Sanctuary with the owner Botha. An unssuming man with a law degree.. His passion for his animals radiates and soon as you meet him. The Sanctuary is a safe haven for rescued animals, which means it's a NO KILL shelter, he looks after them as though they were his own children, with such passion and enthusiasm. His knowledge about each and every animal is unbelievable. He can tell you before you enter into the cages which animal will take a liking to you and which you might not. His two Cubs that you are allowed to play with I have no words to describe. Well behaved and lil bit naughty but at end of the day just want to be loved. Botha, it was and honour to meet and spend the day with you learning about these animals and I am truly humbled by the work that you and your wife do for them everyday. From the lil Cubs, to the teenagers to the older Lions as well as the Cheethas, Leopardas and Caracals. We cant wait to come and see you guys again with the progress you have made on the bird sanctuary, as well as well as all the other plans you mentioned today to me. My sister was in her element for her birthday and for that I thank you.. I cannot think of another present that will beat this one. I wish you all the best and look forward to seeing you soon again This is a highly recommended Private tour with a 15/10 from me.... this far outcede my expectations and you can see...

But to be able to be real up close and personal with a Real Lion Pup (at a fee of course). The Experience there was mixed Fear and Anxious to be touching a Lion. You need to experience it to feel it. The Place was well organise and well kept by the Owner. Young children will have a Blast of a time there too. The Food was served with Big Portions and the ambiance there was laid back and relax. The Fee maybe abit pricey but who's complaining where you can be touching a Real Lion. Will be there again if I get...
   Read moreThis is perhaps the best place to see Lions, Tigers from close distance and with ease in South Africa. A short drive from Johannesburg, the place has many wild animals. Under the supervision from owner and his family you get a chance to get very close with Lions. The 1 year old lion is very playful. The wild life experience here is even better than Lions and Rhino park in Johannesburg. The owner is more passionate about Lions and tell much more what you can hear in Lion park in Johannesburg. On top of this the food is awesome here. In fact one can have far better dining experience in open with bon fire etc in Bloemfontein area. Highly recommended. Five...
