Rhino and Lion Game Reserve/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 game 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.
Over 700 head of game from 25 different species.
