Keen to have an experience of wildlife and help support a wildlife welfare project, we visited this place off the beaten track. The staff were very friendly and helpful, our guide on the tour knowledgeable and personable. His connection with the leopard, servals, wild cat and lions was particularly strong and they clearly responded well to him. The animals are in beautiful condition and very content. A very worthwhile experience in support of an excellent project.

The rescue part was great, a bit disappointing that that part was only for local animals and the big cats were those bred in captivity and for the purpose of being in captivity, which was not clear to us from the start and some of the people on our trip were not too happy about that.

Really nice tour seeing all the rescued animals. I believe they really do good at this place so visiting is also supporting their efforts to help rescued animals.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about the place and that made the tour even more interesting.
There are a couple of lions, cheetahs, and other cool cats, birds and other animals.
Worth a visit and value for money.
