Walking with Lions
45 - 60 minutes
15+ years and 1m50
No photography or videography equipment allowed
Activity closed on Sundays
This big cat adventure has become a very well known and much-appreciated activity for tourists and Mauritians alike. Described as "… This has been the highlight of our trip…", and "A once in a lifetime experience, unbelievable!", "fantastic to see such beautiful creatures so close!", "…never thought I’d be able to touch a lion…” to name but a few.
Our walks are carried out daily during the early mornings and late afternoons as these are the cooler parts of the day. The walk takes place on the banks of Rivière du Rempart, which forms part of the 1,000 acre estate.
Upon your arrival, the Safari Adventures team will welcome you with a safety briefing, you will then be introduced to the cats and their handlers and it is from this moment that your unique adventure begins.
A very popular combination is to take a lion for a walk followed by an interaction with the cheetah, or one of our smaller cats, caracal and serval.
