Lion Walk
The Lion Walk is pretty much what it sounds like, it’s kind of like walking a dog, except there is no leash and you’re walking a huge dangerous animal. This I have to say was one of the coolest things I have ever done and was worth every penny of the $125.00 Daniel and I each paid. The way it was explained to us is that these Lions were bread for the purpose of being released back into the wild and repopulating the Lion population. Apparently the population has declined by an estimate of 80% over the past 40 years. The two Lion cubs we got to interact with were a brother and sister that are 12 months old. At 4 years they will be released into the wild and will have less and less interaction with humans between now and when they are released. The Lions were just beautiful playful creatures, you could tell that they were brother and sister the way they played with each other.
