The parks Lion Cubs program has an unblemished record. They take great care of the lions. Participants are instructed on how to interact with the cub and the cub’s interaction hours are closely monitored to be sure the cub is not stressed. The cubs first are introduced to participants when they are three months old and are removed when they are six months. Once they have reached this step, they are taken to a farm where they are housed in large enclosures. From the farm the lions are either donated or sold to creditable zoos and game parks. If by chance a lion is not donated or sold if will be taken care of until it dies a natural death. This program is a great way to gain an education, understanding, and face-to-face interaction with lions. As mentioned above, Lion Park has a lot to offer. They also provide a program in which visitors can feed giraffes and ostriches. This is another way to learn about an animal up-close. In addition, the park offers a cheetah walk.
