The festivities, held to mark their birth on July 6 last year, included dances, shows, craft workshops, and games for families. A themed photo booth greeted visitors at the park entrance, and lucky draws offered the chance to visit the lions den.

The park, known for its conservation efforts, had successfully bred these lions as part of the European species recovery program.
