An amazing day walking with lions as well as meeting cubs and bigger cats!
We have booked with Jason before (meeting the elephants) and loved his company and the service he provides is faultless, so we booked this experience as we thought it would be an an amazing experience and it really was. You start the day walking with lions, which is amazing then after a short break you get a tour of the sanctuary and what they doing for the welfare of the endangered big cats. Brad was our host for this tour and was brilliant, as well as learning and seeing cats you get to meet some lovely lion cubs and a cheetah. I highly recommend coming on this tour it’s amazing and with Jason organising and picking you up you are in great company. (Just one thing to be aware of small children could be restricted on visiting some of the cats) Thanks again Jason you have made us make some special memories. 🇿🇦🦁🐘

Walk With Lions From Johannesburg: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Johannesburg.
How much does Walk With Lions From Johannesburg cost?
+
Prices start at $4950 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 Walk With Lions From Johannesburg take?
+
Plan for about 7.5 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 Johannesburg is not rushed.
Is Walk With Lions From Johannesburg worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 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 Walk With Lions 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 Walk With Lions From Johannesburg suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 13. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 7.5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Walk With Lions From Johannesburg?
+
Around 0 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 7.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Walk With Lions 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 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, Full Day Ultimate Pilanesberg National Park Safari from Johannesburg or Pretoria, Half-Day Tour of 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 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.
