Drakenstein Lion Park

Drakenstein Lion Park is situated in the scenic Cape Winelands and comprises of 50 acres of sprawling lion habitat.

The park was established in 1998 to provide lions with a sanctuary where they could live in safety.

All the animals brought to the Park are captive bred / hand reared and cannot be rehabilitated to the wild.
The animals at the Park are assured a chance of living out their natural lives in an safe environment.

The Park is actively involved in improving the quality of life of lions in captivity, locally as well as internationally.
This is done, either by offering these animals a lifetime home or working in conjunction with other animal welfare organizations to secure a safe future for individual animals in need.

The Park is not involved in commercial breeding or trade and offers lifetime care to all of it's animals.

When you adopt a lion, your donation contributes directly towards a portion of the care costs for the adopted lion. This includes food, veterinary care and housing costs.

Each adoptive parent will get an acknowledgement on the lions information board at the Park as well as on their website.
