"The peach ice tea is very nice and included in the 150B entry fee. I thought the cubs would walk freely but not. You have to pay 500B for 5 min with the brown cub and 1000B for 5 minutes with the white cub. They look very well taken care of and they even get breaks."

"It felt amazing playing with the lion cubs. But more than just being a business, you could see that the owners genuinely cared about the lion cubs. The cubs were definitly not sedated, well fed with shiny and fluffy hairs, very active and playful, and if they ever got tired they would let them rest until they wake up again and allow people to approach them. I also appeciated the time limit to interact with the cubs, so as to not overstimulate them. Since they were born in captivity, they unfortunately cannot be released into the wild, but we felt lucky enough to have the chance to interact with them during the short window before they are sent back to a sanctuary. The place itself felt a bit basic, but charming with some nice and tasty drinks. Alltogether a value for money experience with great and kind staff members who help us taking what seems like a million pictures in a minimum time and promptly addressed our concerns. Thank you for this nice experience"

"What an incredible place! The lions are clearly well cared for, and the cubs are definitely NOT drugged. I usually don’t leave reviews, but I felt the need to after seeing so many misconceptions. First of all, these cubs are NOT taken from the wild. They are born in captivity, meaning they have never lived in the wild and are not separated from wild lion prides. They are raised in a safe, controlled environment where they receive proper care from birth. As they grow, they continue to live their lives in Lion Land, not being sold or exploited. Lions naturally sleep up to 19 hours a day, so it’s no surprise you’ll see them resting. One of the cubs I saw was just a month old—at that age, they’re still wobbly on their feet, which is completely normal! I had the amazing experience of playing with the cubs for over 20 minutes and even got to watch them being bottle-fed. After their feed, they were full of energy again—playing, running around, and just being little lion cubs. Anyone claiming they are sedated is simply misinformed. This place truly cares for its animals!"
