Lory Park Zoo, Animal sanctuary in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Lory Park Zoo is a facility in Johannesburg where African wildlife including lions, cheetahs, hyenas, and primates live in enclosed habitats. Visitors walk along designated paths that connect different sections of the zoo to observe the animals throughout the day.
The facility started as a bird park in 2000 and later expanded to care for large and small cat species. This growth allowed it to develop into a broader wildlife sanctuary.
The zoo serves as an educational center where visitors learn about South African wildlife through guided presentations and animal behavior demonstrations.
Plan your visit for the cooler morning hours when animals are more active and the heat is less intense. Wear comfortable walking shoes as you will spend time moving between different sections of the grounds.
The facility maintains high standards in animal care that are recognized internationally for their quality. This shows in the thoughtfully designed habitats and the daily well-being of the animals.
