Protea Hotel Ranch Resort

25 km south of Polokwane on the N1 R101, Farm Hollands Drift, 0700, South Africa

I went to Polokwane for a wedding, which was hosted at the Ranch Nature Conservancy resort. Aside from the golf and relaxation, you can also go for a walk with lions! You get to hold their tails and also amazingly not get eaten by them! Haha ;) After doing the walk, I must say that the lions seem like big friendly dogs. Bare in mind that these are lions are used to humans and guides and rangers supervise your walk at every step of the way. You SHOULD NOT attempt to do this on your own if you happen to visit one of Africa’s many game parks.
