The lion park was established in 1998 in order to provide injured and distressed big cats with a safe and natural environment. All of the animals brought here have been hand-reared or bred in captivity, which means they are unable to be released into the wild. Visitors can enjoy viewing the lions up close and watch feedings on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
