    It is amazing just how unpredictable these 10 month old lions were. One minute they would be walking beside you just taking in the scenery and the next they were ambushing each other, or practicing their hunting skills on each other. I am just glad that they did not practice on us!

    You can not beat the rare and unusual experience of playing with 12 week old lion cubs. Their teeth are very sharp and their paws are large and strong, but the feeling of being one with nature is a magnificent expeience that Anne and I will remember for the rest of our lives.

    There are certain things in life that you are just not suposed to do....and this is one of them! Having said that, this is one of those "life experiences" that I will look back on for the rest of my days with great pleasure.

    My life long motto "Don't die wondering" came to the fore and I guess I now know what it is like to hold a lion and how they feel...I'm not telling, you will have to go and experience this for yourself at Antelope Park.

    Not to be out done by my brave nursing of a two month old lion cub, Anne decided it was time to kiss and cuddle a ten month old lion! By the look on the lions face I was beginning to worry that it was moving in on my territory and I was feeling rather neglected and intimidated!

    It is heartbreaking, but the number of lions in Africa is decreasing at an alarming rate.
    Current patterns indicate that within a very short time there will be no lions left on this continent.

    Antelope Park have a very unique experince just about everywhere you turn. A lion breeding program is in full swing here and when the lions are a couple of years old and have formed their own pride, they are introduced into the wild in Zambia in an attempt to prop up this dwindling species!

    Cost....US$5.00

    It is a great experience to spend around 20 minutes playing with the lion cubs. They are very young and playful and it is exciting to feel just how sharp their teeth and claws are at this young age. They are very inquisitive and nothing escapes their attention, from chewing on your shoes to pouncing on your camera if you put it down!

    The lions in the breeding program are fed approx. every 2 or three days because when they are in the wild they will only kill around two or three tmes per week.

    Antelope park have safari vehicles which will take you, and a rather smelly carcus, to the lion enclosures that are located away from the main complex. Here you will see how the lions feed and witness the sheer power and agression of these animals that you have nursed, cuddled, played and walked with!

    Cost.....US$5.00

    Learning lifes skills
    by K.Knight
    The younger lions, usually cubs ranging from about 3 months to about one year old, need to be taken for a walk every day to exercise them and to reinforce their familiarity with an open, game reserve environment. There are usually around 3 or 4 lions in a group and there could be as many as 4 or 5 groups that are taken out. You'll usually be accompanied by one of the Park guides or lion tenders.

    Before you're allowed to go out with the lions, you'll be briefed on what to do and, more importantly, what not to do. The entire project will also be a learning process for you and you'll find it fascinating. You are informed how to both react and how not to react with the lions but most importantly....Do not look the lions in the eye, it is seen as a threat.

    The walks take on average about an hour-and-a-half. Walking the lions is a big tourist attraction and the lions can be accompanied by no more than 10 tourists at a time on any walk.
    Because the lions are eventually released back into the wild, some information about them is needed in order to establish which are the dominant lions, the more submissive lions, which ones socialise together or form groups, and which of them are beginning to exhibit signs of basic instincts and ability to explore the wild on their own etc. This helps the Park management in their decision-making regarding the release of the lions.
