First of all is quite difficult to find it because entrance in poor signed and on their web page you can not find exact address. After entrance is quite nice picnic area, good for family BBQ. Next to area are few cages with some ordinary animals like rabits as well as some more special like vulture, eagle owl, eagles. Two donkeys, three small hippos, buffaloes, cape hunting dogs and very lazy cheetah if you are lucky and is not hidden inside. Like high-light I consider Black Rhino, unfortunately with cut horns and one ear.
If you like to ride inside park "reserve" I would advice you spend time different way. We did with 4x4 and loops there are terrible, no animals only big troubles with bush scratching your car and worry of puncture !!! Do not try to go inside with small car. We drove there for 3 hours and we saw 2 zebras and few monkeys. There are much better game reserves in area of Polokwane and Mokopane worth to see.

small, dusty place, not a lot of animals. Ok for an hour or so. Kids enjoyed it. Could not see much of the animals.

I'm an avid animal lover. I write blogs and do marketing for tourism attractions at selected towns in SA. One of the towns we are populating is Mokopane. I was considering doing a blog on this place, but I've read so many reviews of those with firsthand experience, of the neglect of the animals and the unkempt surroundings. I am in doubt now whether to advertise/write or not. I would hate to know that this place is only in it for the money and not for the benefit of the animals. I hope I can be corrected. Remember: the pen is mightier than the sword.

On our visit one of the leopards was very ill and no one seemed to care.. We went back to inform management buy they couldn't care less.. Only a few moments later the leopard died.
One could clearly see the neglect of the animals. Poorly fed, covered with ticks and fleas, filthy cages.
2nd visit wasn't better at all. Very rude staff. Rather sit in the park next to it.

This place is best visited during the week because weekend it is very busy with picnic seekers. Also it's a venue for events picture shooting eg wedding. There is a wild variety of species to view. The staff are knowledge and friendly.

Could be a great outing for the family. But not very well kept. Alcohol should be banned. And there should be rules on loud music and rowdy crowds. Have lived here for 20 years and used to go regularly. But I can't take my children there as there are usually rowdy drunk crowds. I go back once every now and then. But have not seen any improvement . Would love to be able to take them there often for the day.
