Tour cancelled by operator

Tour cancelled by operator on the day of the excursion, around 2 hours before scheduled pick up time. 2 stars given due to fast refund but otherwise super disappointing and lack of notice meant it was too late to book any alternative excursions for the day.

Couldn’t ask for more.

We went to Lion Safari Park on our last day in Africa. It was wonderful. We saw the big cats that we tried so hard to see at Krueger. Park is beautiful, animals looks healthy and happy, and we were dropped off and picked up by the park at our hotel. Couldn’t ask for more.

Nice safari park experience!

The Viator driver, Thabang, was very prompt and courteous. He drives you to the safari park, pays for the tickets and then you go into a safari park vehicle and a separate tour guide will drive and give info for the next 2 hours. The Viator driver will return you back to the hotel. The park was a wonderful experience to see various animals (lions, zebras, cheetah, leopard, hyenas, antelopes, etc); it is fenced in but it doesn’t lessen the experience; the safari vehicle is also fenced in but there are gaps to take photos unhindered … the girrafe was too far away from our vehicle; there are no elephants. It is highly recommended if you are nearby.

A epic visit to Safari Park

A very pleasant experience. Thabang was very friendly and entertaining. We discussed politics, music and more. In all, we had lots of fun

Beautifully Amazing Half Day Tour of the Lion Park

The tour was just amazing and the driver superb. Because of his assistance and readiness to help coupled with his well mannered and guarded conversation, I decided to book him for additional full day Johannesburg tour

2 tours combined, double of fun!

We did 2 tours on the same day: lion safari park and Lesedi cultural. We loved both! In the park we saw many lions, leopards, hyennas, and had a lot of fun. The Lesedi park offered an interactive experience in which we learned impressive facts about languages, habits and the life style of 5 ancient peoples, closed with music and dances. The lunch was delicious in a well decorated environment. Our guide Eric was punctual, friendly and patient, taking pictures and waiting for us while we did the activities on our time, no rush. We highly recommend this tour for all family!

Wonderful half day trip to the lion park.

Great half day tour, picked up TK who was a very nice chap and driven to the park, he waited for us until the end and drove us back to the holiday inn Johannesburg safely. Lion park itself was super, you get up close and personal in the safety of a safari truck. You can take some really great photos and videos, tour guide / driver was excellent. He explained the history of the park and lions, horror stories on self drives where the rules of the park were broken. Hyena's, wild dogs, and cheetahs was more of a zoo experience, lions where the main attraction as it was more natural.

Fantastic safari tour and well organized

We had an amazing safari tour experience! Everything was well organized and the trip was filled with unforgettable moments. Our driver ( Thabang) was truly exceptional – very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. He made sure we felt comfortable and safe throughout the journey. I highly recommend this tour to see the wild animals.
