Great for families - stay and picnic after the tour!

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.

Really fantastic guided tour from Ken! Extremely knowledgeable and very attentive to the younger kids that were apart of our "group". Gave great insight into all the snakes & reptiles. Worth it and makes it loads of fun.

This is really worth a visit - I have never been a snake fan but found this so interesting. Jam packed with lots of useful information. It’s really well run and the snakes seem happy and cared for. Was even persuaded to touch a few!!

Snake park
Feb 2020 • Couples
My husband is a big fan of snakes I am not. However this park was very good. Really nice warm welcome from the owner Michael. Gave us a lot of time explaining the set up etc. We then had a guided tour. Very informative and making it enjoyable. Interaction with snakes. No tricks no cruelty. Very good value.

Jan 2020 • Couples
I cannot praise this place highly enough. Firstly they are the real deal with an amazing selection of snakes. They are extremely knowledgeable about all things snake and Ken, our tour guide, kept us riveted with an amusing take on it all so that we were thoroughly engaged from the first moment to the last.
He gave us lots of time to ask questions and to handle the snakes which were amazing.
Highly recommended!

low key fascination
Jan 2020
Great way to find out about some of Africa's most elusive creatures. Calm, chilled and knowledgeable guides who love their slithery charges and share that love. I will never look at a snake in the same way again.

Do they have black mambas?
Can you see the snakes being fed?
CorinneHess1234567

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.
