Zebra is standing in a grassy field
While my experience at the park was great and I got to play with some pretty big lions I found out things about the park afterwards that makes me wish I'd never gone. Basically petting big cats signals their death. The lion parks use the older lions and sell them to the canned hunting industry. I was lied too at the park and do not recommend that anyone ever goes to a park where you can pet or walk with lions. Highly not recommended to visit Ukutula! Or any other lion park in Africa for that matter!
