I did love how close you can get to the Lion and the Tiger. Our tour guide was very friendly and interactive with us and the animals. The baby lions was a little sleepy when we were there but it was still awesome to touch them.Lovely family outing

Very pricey entrance for a 15 min tour. Has beautiful white tigers and very few other animals. They have lion petting, that was the best moment. Better to call and ask if they have baby lions.

It was nice interacting with Lion Cubs they are so smooth and soft we loved them.Is good for the entire family but the establishment is not so clean

The are lot of fun of activities to enjoy with friends or family

Had a lovely experience there, our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. The entire experience was professional and fun at the same time, my family enjoyed the encounters with the Lions and Tigers and the animals look healthy and well looked after. A must do if you are in Hartbeespoort for the day and when kids are on school holiday! Well done guys!

White Tiger are definitely an attraction , the experience will be great if there were more wild cats.

Fantastic experience! Friendly staff. Awesome outing

Amazing variety of animals. Maison is a great tour guide with a good sense of humour. The cub interaction was definitely the highlight.

Lovely place just so sad to see the horrible cages that the monkeys are kept in. So depressing 😞

Beautiful place, kids enjoy, clean and neat

Beautiful lions, tigers, wild dogs an caracal.No cubs due to covid. Enjoyed seeing the animals, paid R100 entrance per person. Viewing took about 30 min.

Its still under construction so I believe theres a whole lot more things to do there. However the rest of the place is nice to walk around. Treat yourself to the reptile park, if you take that ticket to the lion park youll get R20 off.

Interesting tour of Lions and tigers. Very enjoyable to hold and interact with lion Cubs

Very friendly, you need you know how to negotiate extremely well and not get taken advantage off when they tug at your emotions. Everyone just wants to show you 1 item to buy to support them or give you a free gift and you will end up spending when you dont need to. Large area and lots of African related work. You will enjoy and find anything relating to the country here. Perfect for visitors and finding gifts for travel. Just be careful because the vendors are super pushy, but in a nice way, of trying to make u buy buy buy. Its undercover and near food and there is music on going. Lovely atmosphere.

This New Lion Park is great. Self drive or book with the Park game drives are available. Very nice location ample parking and if you get hungry, restaurant and fast food are here.

Awesome crowd and staff

Great place for a family day out, craft shopping, Restaurants, Swimming, Lon park and snake park, this place has enough to keep you busy all day.

Great outing for the family

You will receive a magical experience at this place and witness fantastic beasts only metres away from you. The price is affordable unlike other overpriced animal parks. If you are a cat lover this is the perfect place for you. Some of its features include petting precious lion cubs and plenty of opportunity is given to capture these moments. There is well ventilated resting area with a snack bar and a fantastic Portuguese restaurant close by. You can see beautiful white bengal tigers, caracals and one of South Africas big five, the lion!

Interesting & enjoyed the monkey santurery so informative.

Awesome people, thank you Ryan for your amazing service!

Lovely little shops. Good place to sit and have a beer. Look after your belongings as there are many people there.

I really like the market but be careful they tend to overcharge tourist. I enquired on an item and when I told them its ridiculous they realised I was local and offered me half the price. I would never purchase that item because they did that. The facility is beautiful and the kids loved the waterpark. I would definitely go there again.

Lovely experience in a private setting (not crowded). Had loads of fun and kids will also enjoy it.

Its kiddie friendly and the ambiance of the place is too nice

An amazing experience, visit the Lion park here for an experience of a lifetime!

The “tour guide” was a 20min walk to see 2 lions, 2 tigers, 1 wild dog and 2 caracals. Interesting facts shared by the tour guide. But at R150 pp it was not worth it. Unfortunately, a once off visit only.

Lion cub interaction was a winner!!

Awesome

I took my 2 year old on a day out to see the lions - there were only a few and did not enjoy it that much but when it came to interacting with the lion cubs it made the day worth while. If you just want to get out of the house and play with a lion then this is the place to go

Good however just 2 tigers and 2 lions with cubs are there to view.

U actually get to see all da animals up close

Best spot for kids & adults. Party spot with a reptile park, kiddies party venue, pool, volleyball beach spot 😎

Was nice experience would like to have seen more animals.

Nice need a few more animals. Guide wS excellent and fun knowledgable

Very nice place to spend an afternoon. Shopping, live music and restaurants.

The village is clean and full of activities for kids and adults. Great good and great interaction with the animals. All the animals are well looked after and happy.

It was nice but way to small a total of 6 adult cats and 2 Cubs very informative

Have some lovely lions and tigers. Can add more animals. Nice to interact with the cubs

Guide Augustus was very knowledgeable and super friendly. Really enjoyed the salk through the park.

Its a good place to take kids to play with lion cubs.... They have a pair of white tigers too

Great place to take your kids with a lot of food markets and a big variation of African tradiotnal products

Always a nice outing for everyone all the sad news that the one white lion passed away

Very nice and friendly people

Crazy overpriced- tour less than 30 minutes, 8 animals and tour is over. Really!

Amazing loved it. Loads to do for kids and families together.

This is a wonderful place to go for a day out. So many things to see, the animals as well as the market. The Waffle restaurant was a bit disappointing, will try another restaurant next time.

Beautiful place to spend a fun time with family.

Pleasant with many activities for all ages

Greate fun for the whole family

A lot to see🎉🎊👍👀👀👀a lot of people 🍹🍻🍩🍨

Lovely white tigers

Had a good time.

Beautiful place, we enjoyed everything

Went there with my family, we loved everything, from the Market, animals, kids play area and the restaurants.The atmosphere is soo amazing, i would not mind going there time and again.

Not a fan only 4 animals in the whole park for like R150 pp... its a bit steep.

We loved the interaction with the lion cub.

Great place for the kids to visit !

Very disappointing. We paid R100 each entry fee when on the poster it stated that pensioners pay R80. We obviously got ripped off. We spent maybe 15 mins on a guided tour and all we got to see were 2 tigers, a few lions and rooikatte. Definitely wont see us there again

Most most disappointing. The food at the Madagascar Restaurant was laughable. A seafood basket with 2 onion rings and two calamari rings etc. Had to ask repeatedly for the tartare sauce and when it eventually came it was served in a dirty bowl. Wont waste my time or money on the restaurant again.

Nice and informative...

Took a drive out here for lunch. Nice and quiet even though parking was full. A nice place to go for a walk about and do some shopping if you need gifts. Great lunch spots too as their is plenty options.#TheFoodMusketeerEats#TheFoodMusketeerExplores#TFMChameleonVillage

Great place for kids. Good food.

I love that the village is a mini market that caters to most needs. One can find dresses, shirts and even carpets and pillows at the village. I love the fact that they have a lion park there and a few restaurants that can satisfy any craving you have. Its great for family outings because there is a pool, reptile and lion Park and family friendly restaurants.

Tourist trap! Great if you want to buy African crafts, but bargain hard. If you pay more than half the starting price, you are probably paying too much. Start your counter closet to a quarter of their opening bid. There is some decent food, but for most of it you have to run the gauntlet past the crafts vendors.

The same stuff over and over and being harrassed is not fun at all. The restaurants are over priced.

Good national park of lion

Not much to see but you get your money worth

Was really fun

The place had so much to see. Great for family outing, so much for the kids to do as well.

There is a Boeremark there every Saturday and Sunday. Very fun and a lot of good food etc.

This place..... I had mixed reviews at first cause I wanted to go and interact with a lion cub but when I got there was told there were no lion Cubs. Then I was told the story about the 4 lions that were killed by poachers and it broke my heart and I realized if anything it didn’t matter what baby animal I could interact with, my money was going toward helping these animals with better security and a better life!!!!! The animals here are beautiful, so well looked after, they wake up when called out they are just so content and relaxed and living a good life and then you get horrible people who put value to these poor animals and then they do disgusting things to these poor animals! But overall it’s not a huge park as they are still developing but very heartbreaking to hear what happened to the 4 lions. But will deff recommend this place.

All in one! Food Fun and Animals.

Beautiful place

Did not experience nature, only saw a tigers and lions

Good visit for our Europeans

Not so many animals to see there,hope they wll improve in future

It is great and very nice food

As far as tourist go, this must be a delightful place to visit and get your gifts from Africa. Sad that you cant walk 5m without being accosted by the store owners who all want you to buy from their store and not the next. Food stores are angell very good and pleasant especially if there is live music. Enjoyable experience.

Lots to do very nice. Visit the boeremark over weekends

Chameleon village have updated the location and hats off to them. The food outlets need to up their game. Looking forward to trying out the new Italian restaurant

Nice place. Lots of different stalls. Definitely worth visiting. Dont go tho if you are a soft hearted person. Those vendors do not take no for an answer.

Nice gifts, but hell, ever single person at every single stall harnesses you to buy something... even the restaurateurs do the same... if you do not mind the continuous harassment (sales pitch) then its not too bad.

Loved the snakepark!!

It has different restaurants in the vicinity that offer various choices according to taste buds. It is an excellent place for the whole family and has various places for relaxing without going into the lion park and the entrance has a flea market with lots of artistic creations reminiscent of the South African traditional artworks and pottery, while enjoying your meal you can hear the lions roaring. A great location to visit in Hartebees to make the place unforgettable.

Makes for a good day out.

Lion park staff are very professional

Great place to go and relax.

Good food good drinks. A good place to go and just enjoy a Sunday afternoon. Relax and get ready for the week ahead.

It is OK. Kids got to play with a lion cub for a bit. The walk through the enclosures was lackluster. Some lions, some tigers and a few other cats. Get the kids to wear shoes if you plan on going as the gravel road has many thorns. Also stay hydrated. The tour guide was professional, the park is clean and animals are well looked after. Bathrooms were tidy and the kiosk was stocked to what can be expected.

There are LOTS of people selling the same stuff. If you are uncomfortable bargaining dont go. There is a wonderful Indian restaurant also. I highly suggest the Samosas and Chicken fried rice.

Excellent variety. All sorts. You must bargain with them. Very nice arts. Shop before you buy dont take first option. Always bargain them down. They load price all the time.

Get to play with a cub lion. Really enjoyed it and it was an experience I will never forget. ✨

I am sure the international travelers will find this location amazing and will find LOTS of souvenirs , but as a South African citizen the vendors are a little too cliche. The restaurants have good food, the village is clean and the animals are well looked after. Good location for a day away from all the chaos.

Must visit

The crocodile place was really disappointing. 2 big crocodiles in a small enclosure, 1 small crocodile to trick as many people as possible to pay so they can hold an animal to make a photo. The demonstration was poor. The market was good but the same goods again and again.

Great family place. Good selection of restaurants and knick knack shops.

The place its beautiful and fun

If you want to go to a place where you can pet and interact with lion cubs, this is definitely the place to go to, at you own risk of course. You can also drive gokarts here and enjoy an amazing buffet. Its very close to the flea market as well.

Thankfully covid didnt claim this gem
