If you can pull yourself away from the pool, food and wine, there is a small lion rescue centre in Drakenstein which is between Franschhoek and Paarl. The lions here are taken in from zoos, wildlife shows etc from all over the world and would not be capable of surviving if returned to the wild has they have been in captivity for all their lives.

Directions: See map on their website.
