Can we take photos with lion cubs throughout the year?
Yes, we have lion cubs aged 3-9 months throughout the year.
What is the difference between a safari and a private tour?
Safari tours are organized with groups of 100-150 people, while private tours are with groups of 6-16 people. If you join private lion tour, you can spend approximately one hour with lion cubs.
The lions are very calm, are you giving them tranquilizer injections?
Of course not. When lions are full, in their natural habitat they sleep for up to 20 hours to digest their food. That's why they look so calm. You can search for the answer to this question on Google.
What time is the hotel pick-up time and which vehicle will pick us up?
After you make your reservation, we will inform you of your ticket and hotel pick-up time. Simply wait in front of your hotel at the specified time. Our guide will find you. We will drop you back off at your hotel at the end of the tour.
When will I make the payment?
You can pay in cash when we come to pick you up. We do not accept cards.
