Sneak into the Lion’s den.
As soon as you step inside the confines of a lion’s den in Africa, you know you’ve entered a whole other world. The feeling you get when you step inside a lion’s habitat is one of complete and utter calmness. The need to make noise in order to keep yourself and your guests aware of each other’s presence is eliminated. You can expect a three- to five-day tour of Kruger National Park in South Africa and be lead through the various habitats in which these beautiful animals call home. The only sound you will be able to hear is that of the wind in the trees and the occasional roar of the wild lion you will be able to explore. Kruger is a must for anyone interested in wildlife conservation, made even more inspiring by the fact that most of the tour is inside a national park.

The museum is made up of a variety of different areas like the Great Hall, the Voyage of the Resolution, the Art Gallery and the Ship’s Graveyard. You will get to walk around the different areas and see what lies behind the museum’s glass doors. This is a great way to learn about the history of a place you’ll be visiting for a few days.
