Lion Den Experience

 

Attention thrill seekers! Orana’s Lion Den Experience is a thrilling opportunity to go behind the scenes into our lion dens with our expert carnivore keepers. Meet our majestic lions closer than ever before and learn about how we work with these incredible big cats. Witness the size and power of these amazing animals and see just how large their teeth and claws really are.

Your behind the scenes tour may involve a training session for medical checks, lions slobbering over snacks or watching them interacting at an enrichment session.

 

Take in the awe inspiring sights (and smells) of the “King of Beasts” in this exciting up close encounter. This is a must do experience whilst in Christchurch!
