At the lions reserve, the safari team will welcome you and consecutively will brief you with a short introductory chat on the lions and on the safety measures which should be taken during the adventure and the time you will spend with the lions.
Time for the Feline Encounter - Once the keeper and Rangers are done with the brief, it is time for you to meet your majestic host in its natural enclosure.
