Hey there steemit buddies,

Hope you are all well, Happy Tuesday!
Here I come with a new post.
I am currently at South Africa, and had the experience to visit an awesome animal park at Broederstroom: Lion & Safari Park.

I was sent to South Africa for work and will be for quite a while. My birthday date ended up being while I was here. So to have more of fun day activity, I and the family decided to move from Sandton where I'm stationed right to Broederstroom. It was quite a ride, 1 hour - 40Km.

And so we got there:

They had plenty of options for the tour: it could happen during the day, the night, on your personal vehicle or a tour bus. We chose to go around on our own.
Take note that although it's popularly known as the Lion's park, the full name is "Lion's and Safari Park", and we don't expect only lions. ;-)

Here are some shots:

Look at the SIZE of that thing, and how close it is to us. It's nothing like what you see on TV hein!

"One of the tour guides we met told us that the park and surrounding areas have 120 lions!
Can you imagine that?!"

Look at how beautiful Zebras are, they are more majestic when seen real life. - Believe me!
But here the question lies again, are they black with white stripes or white with black stripes?

After all the driving and dust accumulation, we got the chance to met face to face and pet some wild ferocious animals: we could meet either Lion Cubs and grown Cheetahs. What sounds more fun here? :laughing:

Haha, that's me acting like I'm not afraid! Check the Cheetah on the right though! :grin:

They are so fluffy!

Here is a bonus: we could also feed this loooong necked friendly animal, getting the chance to meet it right up close. Quite a friendly giraffe! :smile:

Honorable Mention
Right at the entrance there was an EXTREMELY funny and friendly doorman, here is a sneak peek:

That's all from the team!
Peace and Love!
