Feline safe? Tourists in cage puzzle lions on the growl

WHAT’S for mane course? These animal enthusiasts are, if their acrylic and metal cage fails. Visitors to the Glen Garriff lion reserve in Harrismith, South Africa, can pay to be placed inside a photographer’s cube, to get safely within a fingertip of the big cats. Its director Suzanne Scott, 53, said the safety of guests and the lions is top priority: “The cube is regularly checked by an engineer.

“It offers the lions enrichment in the form of mental and physical stimulation. As a non-profit sanctuary relying solely on donations, the cubes’ rates offer us a small income which directly helps us to feed and protect the lions.”
