Sanctuary Tour

Pretoria

Activity Description

Just an hour north east of Johannesburg and half an hour from Pretoria lies the Kevin Richardson Foundation Reserve. Nestled between the Bobbejaansberge and straddling the Boekenhoutspruit, the reserve forms part of the Dinokeng Game Reserve, and is the home of the ‘Kevin Richardson Wildlife Sanctuary’.

The sanctuary is home to lions (as well as leopard and hyena) rescued from captive-breeding and cub-petting facilities. Enjoy a guided tour of the sanctuary while learning about the challenges facing lions today and the work we are doing here at the Kevin Richardson Foundation.

A guide will drive you between the sanctuary enclosures on a game viewer with no more than ten guests, giving you a chance to take photographs and ask questions.

This tour is suitable for people with children and those that prefer not to walk to far.

Booking is by appointment only
