Lion Roar Safaris have one seat available in the front of the vehicle next to the driver for people in a wheelchair.

Clients with special needs are welcome at Lion Roar Safaris; however, it’s in the client’s best interest to travel with a personal friend/nanny/doctor/nurse that knows the needs of the person mentioned.
