LionWhispererTV aim is to raise awareness about The Kevin Richardson Wildlife Sanctuary.
The Kevin Richardson Wildlife Sanctuary’s mission is to provide a self-sustaining African carnivore sanctuary for the purposes of wild species preservation through education, awareness and funding, especially pertaining to the rapid decline of large carnivores in Africa due to habitat loss, human-predator conflict, unscrupulous hunting, disease and their illegal trade.
On this channel, The Lion Whisperer films the majority of his footage using a GoPro camera, allowing viewers to get as close as possible to the lions, leopards and hyenas at the sanctuary.
Kevin Richardson hopes to provide viewers insight into the lives of these beautiful creatures and in turn, by watching the videos on the channel, viewers will be directly contributing to the conservation of these majestic animals.

I love how soothing and quiet this episode was. Part of me now wants an episode in which Kev goes for a walk and there's not a lot of talking and no background music. I'd love to just hear the "sounds of the bush" as Kevin puts it someday. Thank you for all that you do, Lion Whisperer team!
This video made me smile and tear up at the same time. How Vayetse puts his head in Kevin's lap shows how much he trusts him. That's pure trust from a magnificent animal. Love your videos Kevin and the work you do. ❤️❤️💜💜
shrutiraman27 We know how an animal doesn’t forget why it hates someone. I believe Vayetse remembers Mafumu’s fight with the puff adder and lost. He remembers the lions starting to eat Mafumu. He was terrified. Vayetse remembers how fast Kevin made the situation better, I bet every time he sees him. That makes me cry.😕
I swear videos of these beautiful creatures is such a tonic for me personally. The hard work involved is not lost on me but your presentations with the wonderful editing, relaxed demeanor and yes the humorous sounds, i.e. woof, woof & blowing raspberries at the cats truly gives me the warm fuzzies. Thank you so much for being such a caring person. Stay safe good shepherd.😎
I'm in awe of you and these magnificent animals.Makes my day I never get enough.🦁🦁❤️❤️❤️❤️
So great to hear that Yvonne, thank you! Stay safe.
Is there anything more heart lifting than when Vayetse or Bobcat or any of the boys put their big beautiful heads in Kevin’s lap?
100%. They're like big kittens with Kevin. You can see the trust, but he still respects them as lions. He's so calm and steady with them all.
I was thinking that
Jennifer Z lioness
@Errin Witherspoon the biggest cats that can purr are cheetahs and cougars, different structured vocal cords or something like that lol
He is a special person for all of them, they're fully aware he's not a lion though.
I loved watching Vayetse with his enormous head in Kevin's lap!! They all look so healthy and content. Adore the raspberry blowing and sweet sounds of endearment you make to these magnificent creatures. Thank you 1000 times.
With all the collective insanity nowadays, I live for Friday Lion Whisperer TV! Walks are the BEST! 🐾💜 Thank you, Kev & team for the hard work you do. I appreciate you. 🥰
It’s cool how the lions trust him and how he’s so comfortable when he’s around them. Inspiring
Terrie Johnston yo chill they’re just making an observation
Did you JUST realize this? THAT's the amazing beauty of Kevin's VISION, YEARs of LOVE, HARD WORK, PATIENCE, Devotion, Loyalty @ Discipline on HIS watch @ SO much effort w his Team. Unless you're a youngster OR New to the channel...it's VERY obvious, my dear...what you have stated. Mr. Richarsdson's video's speak volumes for themselves.
I would love to see a video of "How well does Kevin know his lions?" If they put a picture of only the face of Echo, Giny and Kussasa, would he distinguish them? What about Bongani, Icarus and Bobcat? Like this comment if you also want to see it!!!
the video would be 2.5 seconds long for 3 lions.
What? Of course he knows them...by the shape of their heads their coloring size , by little things with their fur, color of their noses
@Helen Clarke well all the lions have certain features he recognises like meg with the extra tuff of hair
Not just if he can distinguish them, I think he can. But HOW does he distinguish them.
Meg has her tuff on her head, neige is now the only white female lioness after ischa, Naiobi has the wink eye lol. If Ginny and livy were together I would know because livy lighter and Ginny more ginger in colour, I'm not sure about thor and Charlie group because I think we dont really see them enough,
What a brilliant and loving bunch of animals there so special love the content Kevin keep all the inspirational work up
There's something so relaxing watching lions in their natural habitat just being happy. It makes me just feel like at least one thing in this world is good and right
I'm the same,I relax watching happy lions, hyenas, leopards.... Kevin's videos of his sanctuary,it's my feel good time
I always love walks with Vayetse, Livy, and Ginny. Their attitudes are hilarious, so spunky, yet when they relax, Vayetse becomes the biggest cuddle bug. What a wonderful group. Loved this video. It just made my day.
As a long time follower, I recommended this channel to my best friend. Turns out we both had been followers for 12 years now :)
Wow! That's amazing
That's how a dreary covid day gets turned around, walking in the veld with those magnificent creatures, Kevin included. Thanks for the outing unbelievably satisfying🤗💕
Walks are amongst my favourite content. So great to see these animals roam, and it's so nice what you're doing for their mental well-being. Not to mention that they voluntarily come back home with you. 🔥
Vayetse seems to be more vocal with Kevin. Always "chatting" about something. This is such a beautiful pride. Thank you for sharing them with us.
What a look of contentment Vayetse has with his head in your lap!!! ❤
It's sooooo good to see you looking rested and happy, Kevin ... and it's always a blessing to see you go for a walk with your babies. Keep up the good work !!! Big Love always ..... 🦁🌍💖
It's so serene just to hear the calm breathing and licking of the lions. A very peaceful and positive atmosphere
saw it on instagram and came here IMMEDIATELY, truly my favourite moment of the week x
Conn Li thank you for honesty.I do feel better as to what you said.!🤔
@Diane Arsineau I think it's mostly likely a response from the lovely lion whisperer team - Tahir, Marinus, MacLean, George, Caroline and Co. (if I spelled anybody's name wrong, I apologise! and please do correct me!). So lovely to see more of the staff at the sanctuary with recent videos x
Cong li you are lucky kevin did respond to you.I'm still waiting.
@parallel_ monkey Hi fellow lion lover!!🦁 Isn't it just the best to get a personal response from Kev and his crew!! The first time I got one it blew me away. I mean, he's got 1.5 MILLION subscribers !!!! And they picked us to respond to!!! (and many more than us I'm sure) But still amazing to see that "from the Lion Whisperer himself!!
@The Lion Whisperer Love your videos as always
Kevin has heaven on earth. Being able to pet lions and hyena and leopards
Spyinthesky 777 to an extent yes, one just has to be extremely careful as they are still “wild” animals despite how cute and beautiful they are. In the end however, as long as you know what they need and what actions mean what, i think you’ll be ok...just don’t get cocky
QUESTION- We know you have a family Kev- one of the first times I’ve heard you talk about your wife. How involved is the rest of your family? Even brothers? Sisters? What does your family think of the incredible work you do?
Running with lions: the impossible game
Unless you're Kevin Richardson 💯
Thank you for giving these animals the life they deserve
Ah, I needed that after a not so great day. Watching those gorgeous cats always makes me feel so much better and cheerful. Vayetse has a super cute scrunchy sleepy face - totally in love. Thanks for turning a "meh" day into a chillaxed and happy evening. Love y'all!
@Conny Landes am glad you are better.....feel free to reach out to me if you need someone to talk to
@King Francis Much better, thank you. Have a great weekend.
Hope you feel better now Conny
@The Lion Whisperer You always do - you and all those beautiful animals around you. Balm to the soul :-)
Glad it cheered you up Connie, thanks for watching! 😊
I never get tired of watching your walks outside the sanctuary. It still amaze me that you are able to provide this for them. I really do believe that those make a huge impact of your lions well being.
These Lions living happily because of Kevin Richardson 😍🙏
So amazing to see these terrifying lions behave like little kittens when next to you, Kevin... Great job, and keep up the good work.
Im sure Kevin is glad that we love and respect his animals even though we've never met them.
Friday, 17:00 and I can't wait to watch another video!! And this time with one of my favorite groups.... oh well, you got me... in fact all of them are my favorites 💖🦁
Woo! We hope you enjoy it Sabine
For me the highlight of today's vlog was vayetse lying down with his head on Kevin's lap. That is what the CONNECTION is about. That is where Kevin's years of hardwork shows
Love all your content Kevin when I see u posted in my subscription feed I always love to watch them right away
Glad to hear Christina
I love Vayesti .I remember when he mourned his brothers death. Lovable surfer Kat!!
I watched that episode yesterday. Vayetse has indeed come a long way.❤
I am always looking forward to Friday mornings, watching the lions and learning about them has become part of my morning routine. Love it! 😍🦁
In a world of Covid anxiety this is a place of reprieve, very relaxing going on an enrichment walk with Kevin and the lions
i wish you live a long and healthy life my friend
I love 💕 Vayetse, Ginny and Livy! What a privilege to walk with the lions in the bush. Kevin lives a beautiful life.
Vayetse is always so calm, he's like a surfer dude.😊
Animals have a way of just "BEING" in the moment. Thanks for the reprieve of living in a big city. Love when they lay in your lap Kevin, just one big lap cat
The surfer dude is so gentle laying his head in kevs lap. Ginng&live always fun to watch. Again Kevin love what you do for these animals....Much love&respect Kevin😻😻😻🙏🙏🙏
They are all so relaxed and loved unconditional
I love that you Kevin, consider yourself as a part of the pride. Vayetse, Livy and Ginny obviously think so too! Always enjoy watching you and your mates just...Be....:)
Nothing lifts my heart more than seeing these wonderful video's, every day without fail with my morning coffee and a dose of the lion whisperer really sets me up for a great day.
Great video Kevin. Peace and serenity through silence with the lions. Perfect timing. Thanks so much.
What a treat
That’s true words about people being desensitised.i would pack my life up and jump at the chance to work for that man true inspiration
I have kind of wondered about the Raspberry noise too. Thats interesting. This was such a lovely calming video just what i needed. Thankyou for all the work you do.
I startied to cry happy tears watching Vayetse, a majestic apex predator, lay his head in Kevin's lap and submit to his love and affection. My God, how beautiful a moment!
Once again Kevin an amazing and educational upload. I live in South Australia and we are lucky enough to live near the foothills so we see Koala's, Kangaroos, we were lucky enough to see an Echinda and Kookaburra drop in quite often to have a laugh at us. 🐨
I do raspberries on my greyhound’s bare belly 😍 I think it’s as much for us as it is for them. 🦁💓
They clearly love the change of scenery and wandering around. It’s interesting about the tail and surprising how you are allowed to play with the top of their tail, so few animals allow that to such a degree. Thanks for including us in your day and sharing your knowledge. From Queensland Australia
Lee McGregor I couldn’t check my dog’s tail, paws, and in his mouth like Kevin can. I thought maybe I could get medicine down easier but he probably sticks medicine in meat and throws it to the lion. The lion probably doesn’t drop it and check it for pills before he eats it!!!😫😣🦁😂😂
A beautiful day for a lovely walk with 3 gorgeous lions! Hugs and kisses for Livy Ginny and Vayetse, from Oklahoma USA 🇺🇸
I love being a member ❤️ thank you Kevin for bringing me so much joy through your videos
I love Vayetse, Ginny and Livy! This trio are the happiest lions ever! I love to watch them go for enrichment walks. They're very happy, healthy lions which is a tribute to the love & care lavished on them by Kevin & The Lion Whisperer Team! To see their excitement when out exploring makes my heart swell. Kevin's commitment to giving all the creatures in his care a great quality of life is evinced in every step of those walks! You can see the exuberance and health that only comes from creatures that are loved and well cared for. Bless you, Kevin & Team for all your hard work, for all you do. 💕🦁💕
As always, a great video! These videos are a highlight to my week and I very much look forward to them after a crazy work week in medicine. Still gotta keep on keeping on. Thank you Kevin for all you do for these magnificent and majestic animals. #lionlove #kingsandqueens #savelions #catcrazy #trioofleos
13:38 most simultaneously adorable and terrifying thing I have ever seen.
😂😂 i thought the same thing lol like oh wow what a chance of a lifetime that would b to have a lion slam his head into ur lap but could u just imagine the fear and how terrifying that would b 😂 that's great
Kevin’s life is just like herding cats, except that, to regular cat owners, he said, “hold my beer.”
It's absolutely amazing the relationship Kevin has with the lions. You can see the love and respect between all of them.
Thank you Kev, Ginny, Livy and muh beautiful boy Vayetse. This was much needed after a bit of a crap week. Could watch these beautiful creatures and listen to you talk endlessly. Keep up the great content. ❤️🦁
This was lovely, Kevin. Watching this video gave me a relaxing warm fuzzy feeling. I love this trio!
The lions feel so save and strong when Kevin is with them
Gostamos tanto de ver seus videos ,esses animais são lindos🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁 parabéns por cuidar com tanto amor desses animais🦁 . Que Deus te abençoe 🙌🙌🇧🇷
I don’t know how I found this channel, but I am sure glad I did. I watched the move White Lion and it was sad and heart warming at the same time. So sad that we don’t have Meg and Amy, but I am certainly glad I found this channel a few months ago. Keep,up the great work on educating us who don’t live where lions are. God bless your babies and you
Vayeste is such a suave lion, he's just so 😎.
That was so peaceful and relaxing 😊
Has there been a time when it's time to go back home and the lions don't want to go back?
If that happens, what do you do Kevin?
Hector When the hyena, Nicolas wanted to play in the water Kevin left him, and came back later. I think it was Thor, Sr during shooting a movie, wanted to walk a long time. Kevin just walked with him. He can’t make them do anything but he sure can trick them in to anything with his Lion Psychology.🦁💖🦁🦁😂😂
The lion's are just so adorable
I love how excited they are to go for a walk it’s so refreshing ☺️
What a beautiful, calming and peaceful video of my favourite pride. Vayetse is a stunning boy, Ginny is so cute and my favourite beauty, Livvy, really seems to have calmed down her mischief these days.
You were right about what a raspberry is btw.
16 minutes of the Three Musketeers? I'm here for it 🙌🏾😌
This was such a soothing video. 😊 Love the long stretches of quietness with just walking, some explanations and no music in the background. Vayetse's pride look so chilled and happy on this walk; it was such a pleasure to follow them through it. Xoxo
This is so relaxing to see them enjoying themselves 💙
I am so grateful to you Kevin for the true love you have for these magnificent lions. Others I have watched exploit them and mis treat them. I really loved Vayetse laying his head on your lap. He loves you and trusts you ☺
I so look forward to Friday for these videos. I live half a world away, in a city with over 3 million people, and with so much turmoil taking place right now, these videos take me to a place that is so different and beautiful. The shot of the lion on the arch was absolutely breathtaking, the sky so blue and the sounds of just Kevin and the animals. Thank you so much.
I love seeing their excitement for the walk! It is nice to fully understand the sound that Kev makes as I have often wondered. Vayetse, Livy and Ginny are such beauties! Thank you for sharing another fascinating video. I love them all! 😍
I love watching the enrichment walks, to see and hear the sheer joy that the lions show when the car pulls up, it makes my heart smile. Thank you Kevin for sharing these wonderful videos with us.
Dude, of all the chaos and madness in my life, watching these videos gives me my little dose of peace everyday 🤎
They are sooooo cute!!! Love watching them. Keep up the great work and letting us be part of it. Thank you!!!!
Thanks Melissa! Hope you enjoyed the video.
Thank you for doing these videos. It's so relaxing and beautiful. Feels like I'm walking along with the lions. Royalty. 💜
Who else tried to listen very closely to the device to hear the roaring when Kev said lions singing in the background?
I’m just blown away every time I watch. Never have I dreamt that I could see these majestic lions this close up!
What a chilled video! Everyone so laid back and just enjoying the moment; even the girls! No mischief today. Have to say Kevin you look years younger without the scruff😍🇺🇸
So relaxing and heart-warming to watch. Greatly needed during these bloody crazy times. Wonderful to see the lions out and about again, what beautiful cats ❤️
Love watching the lions walking free. They look right at home 😍
This is one of my favorite videos. I really felt like I was walking with the lions! How precious when they fall asleep on you. Thank you for these awe-inspiring videos❤❤
You and the lions are amazing. I look forward to your videos every Friday, it really does warm the heart 💓
I was waiting for this video! I'm new here and I love your videos and all what you do for animals. Thank you so much!
❤️❤️❤️ The quietude is very peaceful, thank-you for sharing that. I'm with everyone else's comments on how gentle life is when Vayetse or any of the lions trustingly put their head in your lap, Kevin. Truly special.
Wow what a beautiful video. The true sounds of nature! The peacefulness, the girls being queen of the mountain, and Vayetse with his head resting on Kevin’s lap, can life get any better. Loved this!!! 👍👍🐾🐾🐾🐾🦁🦁🦁 🏔🏔 ☀️ 💕💕
It makes my Friday to see you and those beautiful animals 💖
Kevin & your support staff. Thank you for such a lovely, calming video. I have been watching these videos for months now & I am still amazed at Kevin's acceptance by the lions, hyenas & leopards. If there is ANY way Kevin could teach that skill to others so the animals who wind up born into captivity have some closer caring than through a cage, it would be better than performing miracles. Kevin, please do not ever under estimate your skills with wild animals, what you do is just mind boggling to most of us & the world is a better place for the ability you have.
Kevin, as always: big, big thanks to you and your great work and all the efforts you've done. I'm following you for years now and still can't get enough. 😍👌🏼🤗
Also greetings to all the other lion-/animal-lovers! 👊🏼🤙🏼🖖🏼✌🏼
This made me laugh, think, and cry, thank you so much!! 🙏🏻🦁💕
Ginny is so beautiful. Watching her gorgeousness up close is such a treat. I’m in the States where there is intense racial rioting across our country right now & this walk with the lions is so incredibly healing. Thank you, Kevin!!!🙏
The quality and beauty of this video is like being at IMAX! Can't leave home very often, but thanks to Kevin and his crew, I don't need to. This was so gorgeous. More please, Please stay safe. Hey, new viewers, become a member, too.
Wow! Great to hear, thanks Joey! 😊
So relaxing just watching you guys. The soothing music adds to it. Thanks again for all you do for these majestic animals!
God bless you Kevin for having this kind of passion 😊 thank you for loving these wild animals. Snappy salute for you.
I've been watching these for some time and I'm still amazed with the relationship he has with these cats? Ijust blows my mind and I love it!
The world is in such turmoil today, with the pandemic and horrors taking place in Minnisota, and watching this has calmed me so much, sometimes I forget how relaxng these shows can be. Must make every effort to keep up on these shows. Ahhhh.
This video is really relaxing!!! Love when Big Boy put his head in your lap! It must feel like heaven for both of you!! thanks Kev!
The relationship you have with these wonderful animals is absolutely beautiful! 💯
I really do love these videos. I honestly think it’d be amazing if we can get raw footage. No music. No editing. Just us, Kevin and the amazing lions.
I loved watching this walk. I felt apart of it; it was so peaceful.
