He is the caretaker of the park, who has won admirers around the world thanks to his fearlessness, because he is known for his massages to lions. And the animals with which he works are not pets, but those who are looked through the fence and who are afraid to approach not only the guests of the reserve, but also the employees of the park. Alex Larenti feel among the wild lions of his, so the tour with him is incredibly interesting and fascinating.
Also you can visit other excursions, for example, by electric car. It is not large, therefore, no more than two people can be accommodated in it, passengers feel completely safe, so choosing a "trip" through the park on it gives you a unique opportunity to look at predators at arm's length. You can also attend a day or night lion feeding. This is a very spectacular sight, but it is not worth it to go to families with children.
For the small visitors of the park there is an amazing "attraction" - playing with the lions. While large lions live in an environment close to natural and visitors from their aggression are protected by a large high fence, small predators live in enclosures where people are allowed to enter.
On the territory of Lion Park there is a restaurant where homemade pizza and several other famous dishes are served in the national style, as well as cakes and dairy desserts.
