This is my second time at the sanctuary, the booking process and instructions leading up to the visit is seamless. We had Brenton as our guide the first time and George the second, they were absolutely brilliant and very informative! The sanctuary is HUGE! It's very clean, secure and exactly how you see on the TV. The animals all look so healthy and beautiful, all of their coats are stunning and they are actually well behaved! But that is down to Kevin and the staff who take all the care in the world of them. Will always recommend Kevin's sanctuary to everyone. Thank you all for doing what you do!

Had a wonderful time on my tour of the Kevin Richardson lion sanctuary. My guide was the very special and knowledgeable Caroline. How amazing to see the animals you have been watching for years on Facebook/Instagram in real life. Now when you watch them you understand where they are and can put it all in perspective. Even got to meet the cheeky man himself, Kevin is fabulous to talk to and is such a character, you can see where his Lion family gets it from. 100% recommend

A wonderful enlightening experience We had lots of questions that were patiently answered So sad that the cub petting parks don't think about along term consequences.

This visit is something I have been wanting to experience for some time now. Oh! and how timing is a very beautiful thing. Earlier this year I received a message from a tiger to connect in person, which lead me to make a series of visits to a very far from ideal captivity setting within a non-sanctuary based game park. For all the very obvious reasons, this is not something I normally do nor feel compelled to however when the call comes (especially from the mighty cat) one answers. When it comes to the Sanctuary one can very easily see how much love and commitment is rooted in this place. I love the multi level (physical, mental, emotional and spiritual) care and the consciously created system to rotate the residents at the sanctuary. Ultimately and as well educated by our truly remarkable guide - Brenton, you are a lovely human! - the animals at the Sanctuary are living a life of necessary captivity. I also really love and appreciate the respect given to the elder seniors by retiring them from human visits. It was a real privilege to see them as we moved on. Perhaps the most significant comment and grateful contribution that I can make in honour of this haven is how it felt being there, and what I felt from the big cats. What I felt from the sanctuary and in my open hearted connection with the white lions was peace. A most magnificent sense of peace surrounded in love. These are the best words I can come with to describe it. From this feeling and other information that came to me in that precious moment, it is my belief that these sentient Beings are fully aware of their circumstances and they hold a sense of profound gratitude and love for their rescuers and caretakers that I could never put into words. The big cats that I spent time with elsewhere conveyed a sense of acceptance of their situation. As heartbreaking as that was I took solace in that most of the residents there had come into a sense of acceptance, each within their own way. To experience big cats in captivity that held peace within and radiated peace outwardly to us was a deeply profound honour. I extend my sincerest thanks to the Sanctuary and every member of its team. Best of wishes for the evolution of the Sanctuary. I loved hearing about the journey from the beginning to the present, and the hopes and aspirations of the future. I hope to visit soon again. I would love to go even deeper. May all beings be free.
