There are all manner of animal sanctuaries and private reserves surrounding Johannesburg which will do just fine for a day trip. The Lion and Rhino Sanctuary, an Elephant Sanctuary, a Crocodile Farm, a Cheetah Research Center and a Monkey Park to name a few.
Animals who are injured or orphaned in the wild are relocated to these sanctuaries before they are ideally reintroduced back into the wild. Some are also a haven for breeding endangered or threatened species like the rhino or cheetah. Over time we intend to visit them all.

On Sunday we checked out the Lion and Rhino Sanctuary and bee-lined it straight over to the best part, a rare opportunity to play with baby lions and cheetahs. So cute!
Kids, don't try this while on safari!
this is amazing Darlene! Careful his/her hackles are up! I saw a show on the white lions in Kruger. Do you know if they still alive?
ReplyDeleteYes we saw them! A male and a female. Our ranger said there is a second female but we didn't her. Amazing! I will poet pictures as soon as I cull them. You know how that goes.
ReplyDeletePs her hackles are up because it was feeding time and I was between her and dinner. Next time we will visit earlier in the day!
