    Pick Up Error

    There was an error regarding the pick up point. On my side it showed the pick up point as The Maslow Hotels - Sandton, but on the drivers side it said The Maslow - Time Square, Pretoria. This resulted in us opting for a later game drive

    Excellent tour

    Dana was an awesome guide. She was friendly, funny and very knowledgeable. We loved the safari drive. Meeting, feeding and patting Zoe the giraffe was an incredible experience. Overall, an excellent day and I highly recommend it.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for the feedback of your wonderful experience on The Lion & Safari Park Tour

    Nice Tour!

    I had half-day travel to Lion and Safari Park tour. From the pickup to drop-off, Gilroy provided the perfect service. If i go to South Africa again, i would definitely try another tour with Steward Travel! :)

    Response from the operator: Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed our experience.

    Half-Day Lion and Safari Park Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Pretoria.

    How much does Half-Day Lion and Safari Park Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $111 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Pretoria usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Half-Day Lion and Safari Park Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Pretoria is not rushed.

    Is Half-Day Lion and Safari Park Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Pretoria, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Half-Day Lion and Safari Park Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Half-Day Lion and Safari Park Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Half-Day Lion and Safari Park Tour?

    +

    Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Pretoria can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Pretoria and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Half-Day Lion and Safari Park Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Pretoria within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Pretoria?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Pretoria experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soweto Cultural Walking Tour with Lunch, Guided Bicycle Tour of Soweto with Lunch, Johannesburg and Soweto tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Pretoria?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Pretoria?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Half-Day Lion and Safari Park Tour?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Bottled water; On-board WiFi; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Lunch; Tea and coffee; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Half-Day Lion and Safari Park Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 227 listed pickup locations in and around Pretoria. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Half-Day Lion and Safari Park Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Half-Day Lion and Safari Park Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Half-Day Lion and Safari Park Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Half-Day Lion and Safari Park Tour if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
