This was hands down one of the best experiences I have ever had! I brought my parents and they were in total amazement. We all left with greater knowledge and appreciation for these amazing animals. Thank you so much for the memories, we will treasure them forever! - Christy


An absolutely fantastic experience! So good we will be going back! If you are entering or exiting the Kruger National Park, add this as a stop off, you will not be disappointed. A truly wonderful experience and well worth the money. - Kieron

The best experience my wife and I could have with animals. The sanctuary team is very professional, but the personal interest shown by them is exemplary. We really enjoyed spending a few hours there and want to go back soon. We are recommending it to our friends. - Marcelo
