Though others desire to travel just to be in one with nature to have a peaceful, stress-free and relaxing out-of-the-country journey, some want their trip to be extra special full of adventure and exciting memories. If you happen to be the latter, then this article is for you.
At conservation in Harrismith, South Africa, visitors are given the opportunity to stay in the wild and experience living with the kings of the jungle: the lions.
For just about 82 Pound Sterling or 715.24 Chinese Yuan per night, guests will be staying at the sanctuary inside a three-bedroom house, where they will be able to hear the chorus of roars of these lions throughout the night, as posted in Daily Mail.
Though the guest house is surrounded by lions that freely roam the outsides of the house 360 degrees, Suzanne Scott, the 50-year-old conservation director assures their guests and future visitors of their safety. With its strong electric fencing, nothing can bother or scare you inside. Its security won't even let a single lion come in.
Scott also added, "It makes you feel that you are almost living among them, as part of the pride. The best part is being able to hear the nightly roars of 77 lions in surround sound, it is truly awe inspiring to listen to."
The insides of the guest house, which is listed in Airbnb, is not that boring either. Considered as comfortable and sweet, according to Travel and Leisure, the house is composed of a fully-equipped kitchen, a place where you can enjoy an afternoon barbecue party, a cozy fireplace, and a WiFi.
Aside from that, the house also has an amazingly designed patio, where you can have a better glimpse of the lions as close as about 10 feet.
Upon arrival and departure, guests will be escorted in and out of the property for safety. Staffs will accompany them through and out of the camp, "with double security gates to get in and out."
Lions are not just the ones that are present in this conservatory. Guests can also have a glimpse of other animals such as impalas, springbok, ostriches, and wildebeests.
All the profit received in the sanctuary will be used to conserve and care for the lions, which is already on the verge of extinction as a result of factors like hunting, habitat loss and diseases.
Statistics show the population of lions has already declined from 500,000 to 20,000 in just 50 years. Given this, it is crucial to do everything to preserve the remaining. Renting the space in this sanctuary is an exciting and amazing way to extend your help.
