Visitors to our Big Cats Park can enjoy the rare and exciting experience of being able to view these beautiful creatures up close, but still from the safety of our viewing decks and behind the enclosure fences! After all, these are wild animals and we respect them as such.
Our Big Cats Park offers a unique experience not to be found anywhere else along the Stellenbosch wine route, where one can both view and learn more about these majestic creatures that may well one day cease to exist in anything but our history books. It’s a must-visit for any animal lover, and we look forward to grrrrr-eeting you soon!
Pensioners can pay on arrival, no need for a booking. Kids under 3 is for free.
The park is open daily, Monday to Sunday, from 9am until 4pm. We also offer guided tours (great for big groups, schools and winelands tour groups).
The Cat Park can be accessed by wheelchair, but might be slightly more difficult for those with any form of walking aid.
Feeding times are at 11am & 3pm. Pensioners can pay on arrival, no need for a booking.
The feeding was very interesting and the guide was great! It was interesting to hear about the diets of the different cats and also to watch them eat. The guide was able to answer various questions about the cats too. The only down side about it was that there were a lot of people in the group watching the feeding with many kids that were constantly making a noise, which made it very difficult to hear what the guide was saying without squeezing to the front of the group. I would suggest maybe using a microphone so people at the back of a large group can also hear what is being said, or limit the feeding with bookings. I would love to go back when it is more quiet since I was not able to hear most of what was being said about the animals and would have really liked to. - Anja

I had a wonderful time at the Cat Park alongside my father. I had intentionally booked for 15:00 so that we could witness the feeding time and we were nothing short of amazed. Not only are the animals well taken care of and a marvel to see, the staff is very friendly and welcoming. - Katriel
Very polite and informative. We love the experience and were taken back by the Lion's mild growl. - Duane
We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of feeding time. The presenter was knowledgeable, funny and fantastic with the crowd. We will most definitely cost again when we are back in Stellenbosch. - Jaci
