Seaview Lion Park



Last Saturday we decided to have an adventure and went to the Seaview Lion Park.  This place is about 1/2 hour from our home and is in this beautiful area.  There is a great view of the ocean, hence "seaview" and it is just this huge park with zebras and giraffes, and impalas, and they happen to have some lions and tigers in enclosed areas. 

The tiger cubs are from the Johannesburg zoo.  When the zoo couldn't care for them they offered them to this lion park.  The lions also have some cubs and this place makes its money by allowing people to pay to pet these cubs.  They are sooooo cute.  Dirty, but cute.  Lion cubs eat 4 times and day and sleep 18-20 hours!  That is insane to me.  They feed them ribs and steak too.  Not a bad life.

We spent a few hours at this place, petty cubs, seeing the big lions, and driving around looking at the other animals.  It was a so nice out too.  Just a great day.

On the way back we stopped and walked down to the ocean at one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen.  The rocks were so dark against the really blue-green water.  It was amazing.

  1. Experience is not interesting till it begins to repeat itself, in fact, till it does that ,it hardly is experience. camiseta España
