...There are many types of bunny parks, these are like the parks in England but they breed rabbits, birds and sometimes have other types of animals.

Review of Bunny Park, Johannesburg

A must see attraction!!Lion park

Advantages: Close up to lions
Disadvantages: bad is car has no a/c

...touching distance of a huge lion or cubs if you dare but i think the 100 of signs telling you it is bad idea puts people off. You can ger amazing pictures and it doesnt look like the lions are in a incloser. The cubs section is worth a visit with you being able to stroke them.The food is great, the traditional dancers in the eatting area are well worth the wait. overall a really good day out well worth the money. This is charged on the size of the ...
...gladly walk near the car for great photos if you arnt to scared. Everytime i i have visited south africa i have also visited the lion park as you are amazed everytime, so much better than going to a zoo. from memory Opening times-8am till 2pm 3pm -6 ...
