Comfortable walking shoes, sunblock, a hat and a reusable water bottle. If rain is forecast, bring an umbrella or raincoat. A camera is a must for all the animal selfies!

We’re 6 km down a farm dirt road outside Magaliesburg. Standard sedans handle it fine if you drive slowly, but very low-clearance vehicles aren’t recommended. Your booking confirmation contains a GPS pin and step-by-step directions.
Cash and card are both accepted at the gate, in the farm shop and for meals.
Absolutely — petting and feeding areas are open throughout visiting hours. Bottle-feeding and rides run only at the scheduled times above to protect the animals’ wellbeing.
