1.00We booked the activity through Viator, which indicated that we should arrive on site at 8 AM. We set the alarm for 6 AM. Once we arrived on time at 8 AM, they told us that the activity would not start before 9:30 AM. So we waited unnecessarily for 1.5 hours. If I had to do it again, I would buy the ticket directly on site. Viator is terrible!!!!
Thank you, Steve 🦁

5.00This was a fantastic experience. Our safety was obviously a prime concern, and there was a significant preamble where we were given a good amount of detail about how we were to behave around the lions. The tour wasn't oversubscribed and we were joined by 2 beautiful lions. The lions seemed to be very healthy and energetic. We all got the opportunity to interact with them (in as safe a way as could be expected). Bear in mind you aren't permitted to have anything in your hands (such as phones), in case the lions think it's food (so your bags and belongings are locked in a cabin). There is a photographer on hand to document the occasion, and whilst quite expensive, the photos are sharp, well taken, and supplied on a USB stick should you wish to buy them. But seriously, how often do you get the opportunity to have your photo taken with a LION? There were plenty of guides around us, (and they were very funny!) and we felt very safe and secure during the entire experience. Tip #1: be sure to take your passport number, as you will be expected to supply it Tip #2: be aware that there is a minimum height restriction for this activity. If you're less than (155cm iirc?), then you're at risk of being seen as prey, and they might not let you do the activity

5.00It was a very nice trip. Staff were all very friendly and available for fun:) For us it was a very successful day and we would recommend it to others. The animals are all very well maintained, the welfare of the animal is in the foreground and it is built even further there.
Just fantastic.

5.00The ground in the lion enclosure is very uneven and flat walking shoes/trainers are advisable not the diamonty strappy sandals I’ve seen some wearing.
Not lion food ...this time 😉

5.00The park wasnt great in itself, however the walking with lions was well worth it. Our guide cofee was amazing and put us at ease when we were a little bit nervous and even injected a little bit of humour throughout our walk. The lions were well cared for and looked in great condition and well fed ( fortunately for us ) the guides had them jumping up the trees for food and these lions were definitely not sedated as suggested in some of the other reveiws. They were very active. We throughly enjoyed the experience and were in awe from start to finish. Thank you coffee and team for that once in a lifetime amazing experience. Worth every penny.
Great day out

2.00It’s not necessarily against the park, but the tour operator gorges. You should know that the price does not include transport... 🤬 About 72€ the race from the north of the island always passing through this tour operator, while you can go for 50€ by finding a taxi. Especially since on the sheet it says “transport is optional” and below, “all-inclusive day” 🤔 Even funnier, the other service offered by trip Advisor, with admission only, includes transportation!! Yes, you can! The price of the entrance ticket at 32€ + the meal at 10€ (average fried chicken knowing that on average we eat very well for 5€/pers) + the safari and the descent about 10€. On the total rating, the operator takes 40€. I advise against the tour operator or even Trip Advisor who guarantees these rates. So, advice, if you want to go, go on your own there.

3.00Waiting time to pick up tickets too long, misdirected information. Because of that I couldn't do all the activities I paid for.
