We came here after the addo park and it was great. You can pet a cheetah who is very tame and play with lion cubs. For only 50 rand it's good value for money and the guide is very informative, it's all for a good cause More

We were able to stroke a cheetah, cuddle lion cubs and get to see animals really close. The guide was very informative and they are obviously very committed, but the whole outfit is a little run down and sad. Well worth doing but don't get your expectations too high More

We visited recently and had an amazing experience. Not only do you have the opportunity to stroke a cheetah (who clearly loved the attention) and play with lion cubs (so cute), but you're also financially supporting a wonderful project. The place has raised 80+ cheetahs in the past ten years and helped to stop the animal from extinction....a very positive... More

Africa captures the fascination of everyone who is fortunate to visit. In particular when visitors are able to interact with wildlife. Many lodges and game farms offer animal encounters. However, before taking an opportunity to play with or photograph any captive carnivore or whilst visiting any captive breeding facility, please take an active role in putting an end to the... More

These people do a wonderful job conserving endangered species. Our guide conducted us in their small reserve. there is a canopy style walkway where we saw cheetahs. We were able to stroke one of their adult cheetahs and hand hold a baby lion cub. I think both adukts and children will love this place as they can get up close... More

Bit of drive but the experience was fantastic for the price, however I'm pretty sure the Lion comes are being bred for canned shooting. Don't expect a first class tourist attraction but you'll get the experience at a fraction of the price. More

A surreal experience sitting and patting a cheetahlike a pet and frolocking with lion cubs. A once in a lifetime experience and educational as well. Help support them as they work to protect our precious animals. More
