For those who missed all the felines in Kruger Park or other reserves, the Lion Park provides EASY sightings of lions, of course, and other animals AND a carefully run petting pen for four-month old cubs. See my pictures, and wear jeans to the petting pen!

1. LION PARK, 1 st half JANUARY 2007

11. This one let me pet it, then decided I would play with him so he nipped my leg with his very strong (already) mouth. Result? I got a medallion! a colorful bruise that lasted a month! See next slide.
