Thank you so much for an amazing experience on Saturday! It was my little cousins 12th birthday at the end of May. And as per our little tradition we decided to go do something fun together. I started this little tradition about 2 years ago with my 3 cousins living in Joburg. All three of them are younger than me and have become like my little sisters. So instead of giving them a gift on their birthday i take them on a fun outing.
So we’ve had everything from a cocktail evening, visits to the zoo, horse riding, visiting a bunch of art galleries to picnics in odd places, depending on the age of the cousin involved. After carefully considering my options, i decided to take my little cuz to your park.
We had a wonderful time!!! we played with the white lion and jaguar cubs, discovered that a lion cub of about 3-4 months has a paw bigger than my hand, took thousands of pictures of the animals we encountered on our drives and we had the privilege of being able to record the feeding of the white lions, wild dogs and the cheetahs.
We arrived home at tired, satisfied and highly entertained. I would like to commend you on a well taken care of reserve, excellent animal conditions and friendly faces we encountered everywhere. You’ve once again made my little cousins think that I’m the most wonderful cousin they could ever have asked for:)
Here are a few of my favourite shots:
A white lion cub
Playing with the Jaguar cubs

Cheetah on his way to feed
Unbelievably enough a cub of between 3-4 months’ paw is as big as my hand!
we saw buffalo!!! one of the shyest animals ever…and the thing was right next to my car too!!! this picture was taken from my car without any zoom!!!!!
Thank you so much for an amazing experience….I’ll definitely be coming again!
Regards
Ruby
