Private 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 Boekenhout spruit, 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, giving you a chance to take photographs and ask questions.

This tour is suitable for people who prefer to have the guide all to themselves and more privacy.

Booking is by appointment only

Customer Reviews

Had a wonderful time on my tour of the Kevin Richardson lion sanctuary. My guide was the very special and knowledgeable Caroline. How amazing to see the animals you have been watching for years on Facebook/Instagram in real life. Now when you watch them you understand where they are and can put it all in perspective. Even got to meet the cheeky man himself, Kevin is fabulous to talk to and is such a character, you can see where his Lion family gets it from. 100% recommend - Debbie


We had a great visit, hosted by Brenton. We saw many of the lions, leopards (aka black panthers) and hyenas. Brenton was very knowledgable, and we learned a lot. It was a great experience! - Arthur


We absolutely loved getting up close and personal with all of the beautiful animals at the sanctuary. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We greatly enjoyed our visit. - Suzanne


It was an incredible experience. We have been following Kevin on Facebook for years and really admire his work. It was impressive to see the animals live. Dani went to an incredible amount of trouble and explained a lot to us. Thank you very much and good luck with this important and valuable work. - Nadine


We enjoyed it tremendously, you can see the care, pasion and professionalism in looking after these predators. Keep up the good work. - Werner
