Overview

Your guide, Steven Kelly, makes this a truly unique and once in a lifetime experience.

Steven has over 8 years experience working hands on with Africa's apex predators including Lions, Leopards, Cheetah, Hyena and Wild Dogs.

It was only after Steven met his childhood hero Mad Mike who turned Steven's passion for captive animals into educating people on the importance of WILD LIFE!

Steven gave up his career in the captive industry as a big cat handler to take you out to go and witness Lions do what they do best - rule the open Savannah and all that inhabit it.

He will keep you entertained with his stories and also has the luck of the Irish when it comes to spotting Lions, and was the only tour operator in Pilanesberg to have 100% success rate in locating lions in 2018.

Steven has hosted some of South Africa biggest celebrities on tour due to his reputation as the little lion man - a nick name given to him by South Africas Biggest Rock Band - the Parlotones.
