An absolutely excellent experience. While it is a little pricey, we thoroughly enjoyed our day out and felt it was well worth the cost. The Wonder Cave was an absolute highlight of our visit. It was fascinating to explore the cave and see the newly installed elevator system, although it can feel a little cramped with more than three people inside. Our guide, Bongani, was fantastic. We loved watching the animal feedings and were incredibly fortunate to see the wild dogs, cheetahs, and white lions being fed. It was also special to see so many rhinos up close on the self drive safari. The walk-through wildlife centre and Reptile room was another highlight, allowing us to view many of the resident cats and snakes. We got to see a white tiger, black leopard and black jaguar up close. We saw so much during our visit, making for a full and memorable day. We also enjoyed a delicious breakfast at the Thatch Restaurant, which was a great way to start the experience. Overall, a wonderful day out that exceeded our expectations and was well worth the price tag.
The Rhino & Lion Nature Reserve offers a unique and memorable setting for showcasing vehicles. The natural surroundings create a premium backdrop for photography, test drives, and customer events. The spacious layout, scenic roads, and wildlife experience attract visitors, giving dealerships an excellent opportunity to display vehicles in a setting that stands out from a traditional showroom. It is an ideal venue for automotive launches, promotions, and creating lasting customer impressions."
Amazing experience. Book in advance the afternoon slot. Got to experience the game drive for 2 hrs in which feeding of the predators were happening. The guide was passionate about his profession and so went about to tell lot of amazing facts. There are also people going around driving on their own. This also included the hippo walk, never found hippo but there were tigers, white lions, tortoise etc. There is also a restaurants where we can feed the giraffes. Also a souvenir shop. Overall a good experience. However there are no Rhinos
It was ok but was disappointed due to the fact that the wild cat enclosure was under renovation where the hippos are but other then that it was really nice the kids loved it especially the wellness center and snake show it was extremely educational for them. Rather visit on a Saturday as thats when they feed the white lions too we went on a Sunday and was told no feeding will take place as it was done the Saturday and staff refused to open the enclosure of the white lions and said they were afraid of getting eaten because the lions were approximately meters away from the gate and felt there lives would be endangered
We had a wonderful experience of the game drive, a great sight, a good laugh, and most of all, we were not eaten by the lions! The predator feeding was the highlight of the day, a nice show to watch; however, the number of participants driving their own vehicles should be limited. It's not very pleasant to see a traffic jam inside a nature reserve and yet I'm not talking about the animals' wellbeing.
