2021 information
(updated 3/25)
From African Lion Safari on
3/24/21: "We will pretty much be operating the same as
last year, with timed tickets purchased directly from our
website in advance of arrival. While we understand that
everyone is looking for deals/discounts, we are
unfortunately unable to offer further discounts on our
prices. Prices on our website will be reflective of the
facilities/services we are able to open under the Ontario's
Public Health guidelines. We are hoping for a May opening,
but at this time do not know the exact date or features
available."
The border to the U.S. from
Canada (and vice versa) has been closed on a monthly basis
since March 2020 and there are no signs of reopening (and no
plans as of mid-March 2021) to do so.
Most experts believe the border will
remain closed to all but compassionate or
essential travel (i.e., no vacationers) until at least the
end of the summer or early fall (US
Customs official info.). When the border
does reopen, we'll contact our Canadian venues to see if
they will extend discounts. FYI, pricing for prior
years is included below. As soon as we receive the
info. on 2021 pricing, you'll find it here and in our
NEWSLETTER if you subscribe.

An update on
season passport sales:
As of June 3 at 8:30 AM, African Lion
Safari will be placing a hold on Season Passport sales for the
2020 season, due to COVID-19.
In order to comply with Public Health guidelines,
it is difficult to properly manage our Season Passport program.
In light of this, visitors will not be able to upgrade their one
day admission tickets to a Season Passport during the 2020
season.
All 2020 Season Passports that have been
purchased prior to this date will be honoured.
Season Passport Holders:
You can expect an e-mail from us regarding your photos and
contact-less card pick up within the next few days. We will
