Strolling through the village of McGregor on this self-guided audio tour, you'll discover something about its heart, as well as its history. Its stories are part of the valley, part of the mountains around it and the roads within it. We'll walk together along the quiet main road and the quaint, untarred side streets, past old irrigation ditches and white-washed cottages built in the 1800s. 

I'll tell you a bit about the many churches, the superb McGregor Brass Band, and the village's unique architectural style, which is rooted in the use of local materials. We'll pass the Bakkies and Paddavlei and the hairdresser's in the Old Court House. 

You'll hear why 100 years ago tram-drivers in Europe might well have heard of McGregor. Our village is not a place on the way to somewhere else, to be passed through- the tall mountains around us see to that. It is a destination all to itself. 

Old McGregor: Meander down its quiet and dusty memory lanes on an audio tour

After two years of intensive preparation we received three young lions in January 2017. The decision to move the three lions was based on the fact that the area at the Game Farm where they were born was very small and the area at Buffelsdrift was bigger and would suit them better. These cubs were born in captivity and can therefore never be released into the wild. A portion of the funds accumulated by this is used for conservation and to support two local schools in our community.
Guests will be transported in a game vehicle to the 5ha lion enclosure where they will see our lions (Shumba, Tonga and Safia) close-up from the elevated view point. A trained game ranger will feed the lions while guests view them. It is advisable to have a camera at hand. Furthermore, the game ranger will fully inform the guests regarding important aspects of lions in general.
