Ideal Venue for Leaderships Camps & School Tours

Introduction
A privately owned Safari Lodge situated deep in the heart of the Rhino & Lion Nature Reserve in the “Cradle of Humankind” - where you become one with nature. Warthogs lazily feed within touching distance and other animals can be seen down the valley. This is an ideal venue for school leadership camps & tours. The Rhino & Lion Nature Reserve is only 40 minutes drive from Johannesburg or Sandton, or 15 minutes from Lanseria Airport. The lodge is situated 6km inside the Rhino & Lion Nature Reserve.

The Rhino & Lion Nature Reserve boasts game species like White Rhino, Hippo, Lions, Siberian and Bengal Tigers, Cheetah, Jaguar and Wild Dogs and more than twenty other species of game. All told, over 650 head of game roam an area of approximately 1600 ha. There is also the predator camp, spanning an area of approximately 100ha, where you can witness our magnificent Prides of Lions, Wild Dogs and Cheetah living in their natural environment. We also have a animal crèche where you can see our tigers and lion cubs as well as the reptile centre which boasts numerous indigenous snakes as well as some exotic types.

Lion & Predator Camp
The reserve is proud to boast a pride of lions in a specially erected enclosure. As a result they are feed and
not allowed to hunt. They still operate as a pride and live as close to nature as possible. There are smaller camps adjoining the lion camp which house cheetah and a pack of wild dogs. These are both highly endangered species. The animals on view were all born in captivity.

Vulture Hide
The local vulture colonies have been decimated in recent years, due mostly to poisoning. We supply carcasses to the vultures at the vulture restaurant. They are often joined by a variety of carrion eating birdsand are a delight for birdwatchers.  

Hippo Pools & Breeding Centre
This is opposite the main gate of the Reserve. The walkways are fenced off with cables and leads to wooden platforms which afford excellent viewing of the hippo pools. The breeding centre’s main focus is a programme for White lions, other endangered species, Jaguars, Servals and Bengal Tigers.
