A sanctuary founded in 1998 for lions in distress, with feeding time late in the afternoon.
Why it’s worth it
The park was set up to give lions in distress a safe home and treat them with compassion. Lion feeding takes place on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 16:00, which is the moment to plan around. There are safari tents inside the sanctuary for overnight stays.
