Endless energy
I loved it so much! It was a very pleasant and enchanting experience. I went with my own car looking for the animals and had a lot of fun.

Awesome awesome awesome
What a spectacular day we had - we definitely didn’t expect the amount of animals we saw! We even got to see the rhino. Beautiful animals that are in very very good condition. You can even take a picnic if you like. Food from Boma was good and we enjoyed seeing all the animals in the crèche. I look forward to when the giraffe lookout deck is open again. Super day and our friends from the UK were blown away!

Nice experience for a first a game drive
Roads are in very good condition (gravel roads), relatively cheap prices. Especially the visitor centre where are spots for making braai is nice as the animal creches are there and you could see big amount of animals and cubs there and even pet those. Our timing was not the best as was well before the feeding time but also after the sunrise so it was already quite hot and we didn’t see any lions or cheetahs in the open caged area but still loads of different bucks and wilderbeests. Can recommend this place for anyone for having funtime with families, couples or maybe to have as first self-drive game experience.

Awesome experience of Africa
I took a large group from England to the Rhino & Lion Park - the day was spend braying at their self-serve units, we did a group game drive (provided by the park) and enjoyed the snake park and other attractions. The Lion enclosure and feeding was amazing and to cap it off, the lion cub interaction allowed the opportunity for the group to understand more about these animals.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Rhino & Lion Park from Johannesburg: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Pretoria.
How much does Rhino & Lion Park from Johannesburg cost?
+
Prices start at $176 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 Rhino & Lion Park from Johannesburg take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Rhino & Lion Park from Johannesburg worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 7 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 Rhino & Lion Park from Johannesburg?
+
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 Rhino & Lion Park from Johannesburg suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Rhino & Lion Park from Johannesburg?
+
Around 2 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rhino & Lion Park from Johannesburg 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.
