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.

We love and respect all animals, lions are my favourite animals and this experience was fantastic. The staff were really respectful to the animals and removing them when overwhelmed and not handled properly. The cubs are absolutely gorgeous, we were lucky to see ones a few weeks old, and held cubs 2-3 months old. The walk around the zoo was lovely seeing a range of animals, staff were constantly cleaning and feeding them. Worth booking the tours.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Everything was well organized.

In our opinion this tour was great value for money, absolutely gets a 5⭐ from us. Best regards, keep up the good work 👌Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. You can't join the tour without a reservation. We were picked up exactly on time from the Aska Lara hotel in Antalya, and there were 12 people in total in the vehicle. First, we visited the lion cubs and took photos with them. Then we took photos with the 1.5-year-old lions. You can feed the lions for 20 pounds; I highly recommend it. The guide took great care of our group. We spent about an hour with the lion cubs.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are staying at the Eftalia Ocean Hotel. We made the reservation through their website for lion experience. Everything went as planned. We paid at the zoo on the day of the tour.Load more
