    The Lions

    As the name implies, the Seaview Game and Lion Park’s main attraction is the lions. At present, the lion population is approximately 55, of which nearly 25 are sub-adults and cubs.

    All the lion cubs born at the Park are hand-reared and for a small fee may be handled by the public. When lions are hand-reared and become familiarized and imprinted with humans, they are not allowed to be hunted.
    Our healthy, adorable cubs continue to receive many accolades. They are inoculated against all known feline diseases and rabies, and are free of Feline AIDS and TB. All the cubs are micro-chipped.

    The White Lions

    3 white lions have been successfully bred in the park in the last 2 years. They can all be seen at the Park.  The aim of the Park’s continued breeding programme is to create a second gene pool to breed healthy white lions and to conserve this rare species
