- Giraffe House Wildlife Awareness Centre - Located near Stellenbosch, the Giraffe House is a beautifully maintained outdoor wildlife center, where the main attraction is Gerry the giraffe. Visitors often have the chance to feed him specially provided pellets, offering excellent photo opportunities and close interaction. Gerry is known for his gentle and curious nature—he calmly leans down to examine guests, flicks his long tongue towards treats, and spends much of his day browsing leaves or wandering around his enclosure.
His habitat is crafted to mimic a natural savanna environment, featuring wide open spaces, sandy ground, scattered shade trees, and elevated feeding platforms that promote natural stretching and browsing behavior. The design allows guests to observe how giraffes move, feed, and interact with their environment.
The center also hosts zebras, eland, springbok, ostriches, tortoises, birds of prey, and various reptiles. Educational talks are held several times a day, where staff introduce smaller animals and explain their habits and roles in the ecosystem.
- Drakenstein Lion Park - Drakenstein Lion Park is a serene, well-managed big-cat sanctuary focused on rescuing and caring for lions that cannot be released into the wild. The park offers a relaxed, self-guided walking route past large, natural enclosures where visitors can observe the lions sunbathing, playing, or resting under trees. The emphasis is strongly ethical—no breeding, petting, or trading—making it a responsible alternative to typical animal attractions.
A highlight for many visitors is the lion feeding on selected afternoons, where guests can watch the keepers safely interact with the animals and learn about each lion’s story and personality. Informative boards and friendly staff enhance the educational experience.
Facilities are simple but clean, with picnic spots. The atmosphere is quiet and respectful, allowing ample time for photos and observation. Overall, Drakenstein Lion Park is a rewarding, meaningful visit for families, animal lovers, and anyone interested in ethical wildlife rescue.
