I did a lion encounter at the Orana Wildlife Park in New Zealand - it was the most fantastic day... got in the back of a pickup in a big cage and drove into the enclosure and watched full grown adult male lions swarming around us waiting to be fed....
I don't know that I've ever posted photos of that trip here... Don't know think I was a member when I made that trip...
My lion encounter at the Orana Wildlife Park - not as spectacular as being right next to one with no cage between, but still maybe the single most incredible and unforgettable moments of my life:

We also go to hand-feed their giraffes,

Were in time to see their cheetah feeding,
