Book nowThe 2027 headline prices
Ukutula experiences are priced per person, per experience — not per vehicle and not per hour. The Walk With Lions is the flagship; the Guided Predator Tour is the most affordable entry point; the combo bundles both into a single morning and is the best value per rand spent.
Live rates are always shown on the booking page, because seasonal and group pricing shifts. The figures below are the published starting points guests should budget for in 2027.
What is included in the walk price
- A qualified guide and handler team for the full duration of the walk
- Conservation and research levy that supports the on-site programme
- Photography time with the lions under guide supervision
- Access to the surrounding reserve areas linked to your booked experience
What is not included (budget for these)
- Transport to and from the reserve — self-drive or a private transfer
- Meals, unless you booked the Day Package which includes lunch
- Curio purchases, tips and optional add-on safaris
How to bring the cost down honestly
Book the combo instead of two separate experiences — it is the cleanest saving available to every guest.
Travel as a group. Transfers are priced per vehicle, so four guests sharing one vehicle pay a quarter each of what a solo traveller pays.
Book directly rather than through a resale marketplace. Marketplace listings carry a commission that is baked into the ticket price.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Ukutula lion walk price per person or per group?
Per person. Each guest walking pays the experience rate; transfers are the only element priced per vehicle.
Do children pay full price for the lion walk?
Children have their own rate and there is a minimum age for the walk itself. Younger children can join the guided predator tour instead.
Can I pay a deposit and settle later?
Yes — the booking flow offers a deposit option, with the balance settled before your tour date.
Does the price change in peak season?
Rates are reviewed seasonally. The price shown on the booking page at the moment you confirm is the price you pay.
