Safari Game Activities - White Lions

Mythological beings, gatekeepers to ancient kingdoms and scientific anomalies with no hope of life outside of captivity.

White lions are one of the most magnificent creatures on this earth and here at Legend Golf & Safari Resort we have some of the very few of these magnificent creatures on the planet.

Once upon a time a star fell to earth.

From its beaming light came the wild white lions, children of the sun god, sent to earth to protect and guide mankind. Man tamed these beasts and had them guard the gates of his greatest kingdoms.

This is the essence of African folklore and has once again come to pass as the White Lions “guard” the gates to our magnificent Great Enclosure.

They were all myth until a game ranger spotted a lioness with three cubs in the Timbavati in 1975. Two of the cubs were snow white.

Here at Legend Golf & Safari Resort we have three white lions at our Wildlife and Cultural Centre.

Our core principle is to protect the species, breed more white lions and establish a white lion pride.

In addition to the three white lions we have a young male tawny lion who carries the white lion gene.

If he successfully breeds with the white lion females we will develop the pride with the ultimate aim of releasing them into the safari conservancy.
