Wetlands Restaurant @ Lion & Safari Park
About Wetlands Restaurant @ Lion & Safari Park
The Wetlands Restaurant is a vibrant, family-centric dining destination located at the iconic Lion & Safari Park complex along the R512 Pelindaba Road in Broederstroom. Serving as the park’s flagship open-air eatery, the restaurant provides an unparalleled wildlife dining experience, boasting direct views of a scenic waterhole that draws free-roaming giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, and ostriches right up to the seating area. Guests can enjoy a casual, reasonably priced menu featuring wood-fired pizzas, hearty burgers, pastas, and milkshakes, with the added benefit of a completely Halaal-friendly kitchen. While travelers absolutely rave about the thrill of hand-feeding giraffes directly from the outdoor deck, table service can become slow and hit-or-miss during peak weekend safari rushes. It features a large adjacent kids' playground, making it a stellar, entry-free stopover for families exploring the Magaliesberg tourism corridor.
