Lion & Safari Park, Wildlife reserve in North West, South Africa

Lion & Safari Park is a 600-hectare conservation enclosure in the Cradle of Humankind, North West province, north of Lanseria Airport. It holds over 80 lions, including rare white lions, plus cheetah, Cape wild dog, brown and spotted hyena, black-backed jackal and antelope. The antelope area, with giraffe, warthog, blesbok, wildebeest, impala, gemsbok and zebra, is kept separate from the carnivores. Five small domes house a retail centre.

The Lion & Safari Park began as a lion enclosure in Gauteng province. In 2016 it moved to a 600-hectare site in the Cradle of Humankind, North West province, north of Lanseria Airport. It banned cub interactions in 2015, then re-introduced them in 2016 after visitor numbers fell; the park no longer offers them.

Guests can hand-feed giraffes, ostriches and antelope, and twice a day join a park employee to follow a lion or cheetah on a short walk. Cub interactions, banned in 2015 and re-introduced in 2016, are no longer offered; the non-profit Blood Lions condemned them.

The park lies north of Lanseria Airport, within driving distance of Johannesburg and Pretoria. The antelope area, with giraffe, warthog, blesbok, wildebeest, impala, gemsbok and zebra, is kept separate from the lion and other carnivore enclosures. Lion walks and cheetah walks run twice a day, following the animal on foot with a park employee.

Cub interactions were banned in 2015, then reinstated in 2016 after visitor numbers fell sharply; CEO Rodney Fuhr said the "survival of our business will be at stake." The non-profit Blood Lions condemned the park and its visitors over the practice, which the park no longer offers.
