Cheetahs at Johannesburg Lion Park, Gauteng, South Africa

As well as lions, the park has many other animals from these fabulous cheetahs to rare African wild dogs, hyenas, giraffes and ostriches which you can hand feed, and a variety of antelope, wildebeest and zebra. You can wander round the enclosures close to the main centre at your leisure, and self-drive or do a guided game drive through the lion enclosures. If you are really keen, you can even have a working holiday as a volunteer at the park, getting a chance to work with the animals.
