Ukutula South Africa Walking with Lions

‪@Dean_Trips‬ visits the Ukutula Lodge and Game Reserve in South Aftica, located less than a 2 hour drive north and a little west of Johannesburg. Ukutula offers lodging and education on preserving wildlife, with a strong focus on lions as well as other big cats. After seeing the lions as well as some other cats Dean and his colleagues had the opportunity to pet a cheetah, play with 3 month old lion cubs then walk with two lions. Special thanks to our Hiking Africa guide Eben and the Ukutula guides Anety, Asi, Blessing, and George. Thanks to my colleagues Donna and Adrian to make our group and excursion extremely enjoyable.

O my King 🦁🥰🥰🥰🔥💖💓🚩

[@Boomslang1]

The view from behind the lions is magical, the majesty of these magnificent beasts becomes apparent that man isn't much without our superior brain. Beautiful animals, these are memories of a lifetime

[@Dean_Trips]

Very well said. Thank you 🙏

[@traceyroscoe8986]

Love lions

[@SK-cs8jk]

This is my dream

[@enishalihoward8119]

I remember I was supposed to do this but didn’t have time. Instead I just played with the cubs! Great experience. Love South Africa

[@micheleboucher6843]

I have seen a tiger up close it was a female to be able to see a Large Cat you get an instinct To Not touch , it's like a warning you get to protect you from a possible attack. from Canada

[@Dean_Trips]

For sure, yes. It is instinctual to keep a safe distance.

[@mshourba27]

I don’t think I’d ever have the nerve to do this. I feel like I’d behave wrong or do something to trigger them to attack me.

[@gatorduran3288]

[@Dean_Trips]

Thank you! That’s a good idea 😀

[@mpumsadankabinde7961]

Planning on going there soon

[@Dean_Trips]

Very nice and educational- I am sure you will enjoy!

[@mpumsadankabinde7961]

I did and the lion by the name Zoro is one the lions we walked with. It shouldn't be more walking with the lions but it's educational. I had a great time.

[@enishalihoward8119]

This video brought back so many memories playing with the cubs there. Such a great place and they do love to bite. Did you spend the night there and hear the lions at night? It’s an amazing experience

[@Dean_Trips]

I did not spend the night- this is a wonderful memorable experience 😊

[@blessingjoy6463]

Are the Lions tamed?

[@Dean_Trips]

These Lions have been raised in captivity and have been trained. We were told that it has happened on the walks that another small animals have appeared and the lions run after and catch them. So in some respect they are still wild. While walking with them you have to follow certain instructions like keeping behind them and keeping a stick in your hand. I wouldn’t say they are tamed but have had training by the handlers who know the lions temperaments.

Je ne sais pas qui vous êtes vraiment, moi j'aime baucoup ce que fait Kévin Richardson pour ses lions et à mon avis il n'y a pas plus heureux que les lions de KÉVIN RICHARDSON.

[@mortalclown3812]

Silly equivalency.

[@shibayandey2399]

I translate your language and you are 100 💯 right 😊😊❤ from India 🇮🇳

[@Truthseeker914]

No, I would never go on a walk with the lions,😨 not even if they gave me all the diamonds in the world!

[@constantinotchavango8214]

I think one day will be food of those animal,

[@Dean_Trips]

Anything is possible with wild animals

[@chrisbennett6260]

thats gonna go wrong one day

[@Boomslang1]

There's been risk assessments and years of experience behind these walking tours. Zoo lions are far greater risk actually.

[@chrisbennett6260]

@@Boomslang1 why and s that then and in what sense ?
