Lion farm

As I rented the car to visit Mel in Joburg me and Giannina thought it would be a cool opportunity to keep it one day longer and visit a lion farm in the area!
What a great day we had!
The Letsatsi la Africa (http://www.letsatsi-la-africa.co.za/) is about an hour drive from where we stay and it was quite a hussle to get there! You have to know a few things when travelling with a car in SA and asking people for directions: a traffic light is called a robot. Distances are much much longer than anywhere in Europe...so if they say you will turn left and drive over a bridge- the bridge might only come after a 15min drive! And last but not least, locals always find their way with the car because they know where to drive, whereas they are mostly unable to explain the route to foreigners. So generally speaking, it's good to know where you're going and to have a map with you :)
Once arrived at the farm we got a tour to all the different lions, turtles, leopards and all the other animals they keep there.
It was very interesting and fascinating to see all the animals up close only the fence between you and the killer beast!

Our tour ended with an unforgettable play time with baby lions! Yes! You heard me right, baby lions to play around with, cuddle and off course take lots of pictures! We absolutely loved it the poor fellas had to wait longer for their lunch just because we weren’t able to let go of them! At that stage they were about 1 to 2 months old, very cuddly and cute!
