The truck drive through the animal enclosures were amazing.. Saw them all up close. Not really a zoo but if time is an issue, better than Kruger.

What a great day we had with Jason to visit the Lion Park and the Cradle of Humankind!
The Lion Park was beautiful and well maintained, with restaurants and a series of small shops selling African craft items. We saw groups of lions and cubs, along with many other animals. Our guide there was great! Very knowledgeable, friendly, and funny!
The Cradle of Humankind was fascinating and well curated. So very interesting! We highly recommend everyone see it if possible and we highly recommend Jason’s tour!
He was soinformative and he is an extremely good driver. We felt very safe with him, and he provided a lot of interesting information about South Africa along our drives.
