Boniwe went the extra mile to make sure that I was able to see all of the animals at this facility, and take good photographs of them. She was very knowledgable about the animals, and I also learned more about African culture too!

Full description

A great tour for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers. Be welcomed on arrival at the center and meet your personal guide, who will introduce you to the center and its conservation work with an educational video.

Visit the Meerkat Meander afterward, where meerkats who have been confiscated have found a permanent home. Entering the leopard walkway with your guide, you will need to search to find the well-camouflaged leopard. See the cheetahs next, and learn about how their numbers are diminishing in the wild. Have amazing opportunities to take photographs of the stunning white lion, cheetahs, leopards, caracals, and servals.

Get a chance to go inside some of the enclosures (where it's safe), and be in close proximity to the cats. (No touching allowed)
Finish your tour with a visit to the magnificent white lion when you take a walk high above on the lion walkway. Enjoy a leisurely-paced tour and plenty of opportunities to talk to your guide about the conservation work being done at the center and the animals that call it home. After the tour ends, you have the opportunity to re-visit one of your favorite cats a second time if you'd like.
