Excellent, top class experience, the children were hanging on our guide's lips for a full 1hr + of interesting snake and other reptile education. What a pleasure it was to enjoy someone with true passion for his field, sharing his knowledge with us. Thank you!

I was here 8yrs ago and the enclosures have improved. My 13yo loves snakes now, whereas when we were here last, she was too petrified to touch one so she wanted to go back to this park. She enjoyed it but was rather disappointed that she didnt hold more snakes.
Connor was very informative. He really knows his stuff and you could see he was passionate about them!

The people are extremely knowledgeable and good with kids as well as adults. Drape a snake around your neck or touch one for the very first time, it’s perfectly safe and an amazing experience.

Well run park. Probably the best in South Africa. Snakes are kept in a clean, well attended environment and the hour tour was very informative.

Friendly reception with an informative and patient tour guide. Only reason it’s not a 5 is due to the lack of souvenirs and beverages at the kiosk.

Fantastic time at the snake sanctuary! Very informative and engagingly educational. We went for a beautiful walk on the property, the kids played on the swings, ran around on the grass and we had a picnic. Great spot for families!

Like a lot of reviewers I’m not a fan of snakes, I have driven passed lawnwood many times. after the excellent tour with Ken my attitude to snakes has changed. Very informative and interesting, large selection of snakes and a chance to handle a few of them. Highly recommend.

Do they have black mambas?
Can you see the snakes being fed?

Yes, they have black mambas.
Usually you won't see the feeding. Mostly they feed them after the visitors left so that the snakes are abel to eat their food without disruption.
