Mission Statement
As the population of wild lions in Africa dwindles, our mission at Boskoppie is to sustain the genetic pool of the lion. Our goal is provide generations of lions with strong genetics so that when the time comes for more lions to be introduced back into the wild- there is an adequate level of genetic diversity and fitness. We also aim to educate the public on the importance of such selective lion breeding and to change the way people think about lions- and all big cats! Our reserve also aims to conserve the Bengal Tiger and increase awareness about the necessity of Tiger Conservation.
Description
Boskoppie is set on a vast farmland in the free state of South Africa. The camp has sweeping views for miles of land grazed by hundreds of lions. At night you hear the roar of the lions that can be carried 8 kilometers away. The scenic views, exotic animals and beautiful weather make boskoppie a truly spectacular place. After a few days, you will never want to leave.
