Hello. This all sounds wonderful and I am very keen to go. Quick question, just checking there is no physical interaction, no cub petting and no other harmful experiences for the Lions. This does seem very ethical and responsible but i noticed one review (not on TripAdvisor) when i was scrolling internet that was not as positive so want to be 100% sure as the animal's welfare is most important thing to me. Cheers!! 😁
