    Fun Experience

    That the pick up spot is great if the hotel you are picked up at are aware that they are a pick up spot. Mine was not.

    Response from the operator: Hi Tristan.The tour guide was on time to pick you up @Sandton hotel,pick up address indicated on your booking ticket,only to find that you used the different hotel and did not notify us about the changes. I am grateful all went well with the tour

    Short and Sweet

    This was my first “safari like” tour. The place was not very busy and there was no wait. It was very convenience. This is more of a controlled environment, not like the safari parks were the animals are wild; however, you still get the fundamental experience. I chose this park because it was half day and they pick you up directly from you house or hotel. This convenience made it so easy for me. I got to see the lions close up, even though there was a fenced barrier for safety. The animals were nice and friendly and the tour guides were hilarious. The trip was short, not a long day event, but just enough to have some fun.

    Response from the operator: It was a pleasure communicating with you and thank you for a positive review on this experience. Hope to give you service again In future.

    Lion and Safari Park tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Lion and Safari Park tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $142 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Johannesburg usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 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 Johannesburg is not rushed.

    Is Lion and Safari Park tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Johannesburg, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 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 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 Lion and Safari Park tour?

    +

    Around 1 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 Johannesburg 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 Johannesburg and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 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 Johannesburg 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 Johannesburg?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Johannesburg experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soweto and Johannesburg Exclusive Full Day Guided Tour, Ultimate Johannesburg Soweto Experience with Apartheid Museum, Full Day Ultimate Pilanesberg National Park Safari from Johannesburg or Pretoria. 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 Johannesburg?

    +

    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 Johannesburg?

    +

    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 Lion and Safari Park tour?

    +

    Included: Guided tour; Pick up and drop off at your adress in an air conditioned vehicle; and Safari vehicle game drive fee. Not included: Lunch; and Items of personal interest from shops. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Lion and Safari Park tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 374 listed pickup locations in and around Johannesburg. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is 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 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 Lion and Safari Park tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Lion and Safari Park tour if the weather is bad?

    +
