Seaview Lion Park

General Info

Seaview Lion Park is located on the Eastern Cape’s ‘Sunshine Coast’, about 30 kilometres west of Port Elizabeth’s city centre.

Set in 120 hectares of superb bush and grassland, this South African Park offers the unique experience of close-up game-viewing.

We run a very special and unique volunteer programme for those who dream of working with lions in Africa. Volunteers need to spend a minimum of two weeks with us on their first visit, as we invest a great deal of time into teaching you about our animals and how to care for young lions or tigers.

Our programme is different from others in that from day one, you’re able to interact with our sanctuary animals and baby cats (when we have them).

From bottle feeding baby lions or Siberian tigers, to walking with them, to learning about their personalities, you’ll be able to experience what few can.

The wildlife volunteer programme has been in place at Seaview Lion Park for several years now.
