Lion Safari Park - Mogale

We opted for the self-drive option. Luckily, we went during the week. Would highly recommend visiting the Park in the week as I can only imagine how chaotic, busy, and frustrating it would be during the weekend and public holidays. The enclosed areas are really small, I do understand the tourist logic behind it, and it will 100% ensure the tourist sees all the animals in the enclosed areas. Keep in mind that the traffic in these enclosed areas will be crazy. The rest of the journey through the park is really nice, it's well maintained, friendly staff at the gates and you are ensured to see wildlife during the drive. The trip ends with 3 final enclosed areas, which again is very small. If you are local, take the self-drive option. If you are an international tourist, I would highly recommend the tour guide option. Overall, it was a great experience.

Great time going quad biking! Completely safe and great experience! Guided tour also worth while to go see the lions, cheetahs and wild dogs.

The park is not far from Pretoria and Johannesburg. Enjoyed the self drive which took us almost 2 hours. The park is huge and you are able to see the animals.

Love it! Also, appreciate the fact that humans were caged in a see through bus and animals were out in the wild. Instead of the inverse. We got particularly lucky as we booked 2:30 3:30 pm slot on a Saturday, which also coincided with the feeding time of the big cats. We enjoyed the whole experience. The journey was even more informative with the help of a travel guide who explained some peculiar behavior of the animals: 1. We saw a male lion and female lion in their honeymoon phase, with the male following every slight move of the female. 2. The darker the fur mane of the male lion, the more powerful/stronger he is and eventually the more female lions (or wives) he walks with. 3. When feeding, the alpha/more dominant lions will always have priority. All others will wait for their turn in the same order of strength/power.

Great concept, free entrance and pay for activities! We had a really great experience feeding the giraffe, my daughter loved it, Zoey the giraffe was so Calm and friendly! My daughter also went on a pony ride, she loved it and the handlers were amazing! Great day out, lots else to do, the restaurants were great! It is a really good experience and a great value experience! Lots to do, next time we will go On a quad bike game drive or see the game on horse back!
