That's pretty cool. Were they hostile at all? Were there any male lions? How many lions were there total?

The group we were with had 3 females and 1 male. We played with 2 females. They are lions so you have to be careful no matter what.

I can't believe you walked with lions!! Did you get to actually see any male lions? I wonder what a lion feels like? Were you scared at first?

We saw 4 lions. Three females and one male. They don't feel soft like a kitten. Their fur is coarser. We were a little nervous than we followed all the safety rules properly.

Did you have fun walking with the lions? Are the lions soft or rough?

It was fun walking with the Lions. Their fur isn't soft --it is coarser. The sticks are to distract the lions if they try to chew on you. You really couldn't protect yourself against a lion with just a stick.

No they are not being trained for anything. They are in stage two of release from the wild. This means they are still used to people.

No these lions are in a release program so they are not meant to help people out. These lions are in stage two so they still get some of their food Given to them and they receive medical care.

We were a little nervous. You probably should be when you are around a lion, their fur isn't soft like a kitten--it is coarser.

If the loins wasn't trained you had to be careful because the female is the one that does the hunting.

These lions aren't trained, but they are still somewhat used to people. These lions are in stage 2 of release so they still get fed sometimes.

Were there any lion cubs? Why would people be allowed to pet the lions? Are these lions wild or have they been tamed? Are they fed by people or do they hunt? Are people just allowed to walk up to them or do you have someone to help/teach them what to do?

This release to the wild has three stages. 1. Cubs being taken care of 2. A little bitnolder Lions that still have contact with humans 3. Lions with. no contact with humans and able to hunt their food. Our lions were stage 2. They aren't trained, but they are used to people. We received training on how to properly handle them. The funds they make on allowed people to,interact with stage 2 lions help support all the lions.

What are the rules for the petting the lions? Where did you get the sticks? How did you get so close to them? Are the lions brown in color? How much did it cost to go walk with the Lions? what do they feed the Lions and how do they get the food for the Lions? Do they hunt the food or do they buy it?

The sticks were provided and used to distract the lion if the start to pay too much attention to you. The light brown coloured lions are fed meat which is purchased for them. They like zebra meat the best. It cost a lot of money but the use the money to look after the lions (buying food, paying staff) and work on helping lions.

Did you get to feed a lion? Did you get to walk with the baby cubs or hold one? Do you have any photos of the cubs?

No, the lions we saw were 16 months so no longer little cubs but still very playful. At this time they are just working to get these 4 lions a little older and ready to join a pride and fend for themselves.
