Safari de Peaugres

The largest animal park in Auvergne Rhône-Alpes has been home to African lions since it opened in 1974. Previously on the car circuit, they were transferred to the walking circuit in 2002 in an enclosure crossed by an impressive glass tunnel which allows for a sensational face-to-face encounter! Three lion cubs were born in August 2023, offspring of Kananga and Makani. It had been almost 20 years since the Ardèche zoo had seen such a birth.

From Kenya

A beautiful lion sent from Kenya. The lion, is the largest of Africa's big cats, and is commonly reffered to as the King of the Jungle. In Kenya, you can spot these sublime creatures while on a wildlife safari in most of Kenya's National Parks and Reserves. It is estimated that there are close to 2000 to 2500 Lions in the Kenya's National Parks, Reserves and conservancies. Lions are most active at night and live in a variety of habitats but prefer grassland, savanna, dense scrub, and open woodland.

Thank you Zhang!
