Why Work For Us?: 

In creating a balance between Lions, Land and People we keep the Lions and Nature at the core of all that we do and all that we are. There are both scientific and cultural components to our work, which creates a unique blend of respect and love for our work. It isn't always easy to live in the remote bushveld of the Timbavati at the heart of the Kruger to Canyons Unesco-declared Biosphere, but there are clear rewards which you will not find anywhere else. Such as - the only traffic jam you will ever find yourself in is when the lions block your path on the road. To us, Nature is the supreme law and our task is to honour that.
