The Lion Safari park is a combination of wild and domesticated animals, so it was better for viewing animals and seeing them up close. I appreciated the drivers efforts to get the truck up close! The Cradle of Humankind museum was fascinating and informative-I thoroughly enjoyed the displays. Jason, the tour operator, was very organized and punctual. He also shared a lot of information about life in SA for him and his family.
