Rhino and Lion Park:
Situated northwest of Johannesburg within the beautiful Kromdraai Conservancy and the Cradle of Humankind. The Rhino and Lion game park is a privately owned, non-subsidized game reserve, covering approximately 1600 hectares of typical Highveld grassland founded in 1985 with the introduction of a pair of white rhinoceros.
Today the game park houses over 700 head of game from 25 different species, including lion, white lion, cheetah, wild dog, hippopotamus, warthog, buffalo, wildebeest, crocodile and ostrich. The antelope species include springbok, waterbuck, red hartebeest, blesbok and eland. There is also 200 species of birds.
A "vulture restaurant" has been opened in the reserve, often catering for as many as 200 vultures. Although not indigenous to South Africa, Siberian and Bengal Tigers are successfully being bred in a separate breeding project at the reserve. All the predators are enclosed separately from other wildlife and are thus fed but this does not detract from the overall experience.
The Experience: 
A mini safari with 3 of the big 5 - Lion, Rhino and Buffalo. As with the Lion Park, the Rhino and Lion game Park is ideally situated close to Johannesburg so if your time in Johannesburg is short, this park is ideal to provide you with a fantastic introduction to South Africa's predators and wild life. This park, as with the Lion Park, is not intended to replace a Pilanesberg or Kruger National Park Safari but provides an opportunity to experience lions and wild life in a manner that you may not have been able to do before.
Lunch options for this day or half day tour:
The carnivore restaurant: the finest selection of game meats - a gastronomical feast from ostrich, blue wildebeest and Kudu to a crocodile steak prepared to perfection. Sample the best game dishes South Africa has to offer.
