Very clean, well kept wild animal sanctuary. The kids enjoyed walking around and trying to spot the animals. It's not very big, but the staff are friendly and the tour is interesting. It's never crazy busy and you even have the option of petting the Cheetahs if you buy the Cheetah encounter tickets. Nice place to keep you busy for an hour or so. Nice little souvenir shop with quite a variety of different gifts.

The people there are very friendly and if you ask, they will tell you a lot about their program and their animals.
But the place is not really nice. Just some simple cages and a few animals. It's not really made to display the animals, just to house them. The place is small and if you're not lucky enough to get a tour with a talkative enough employee, you are done with your visit after 10-15 minutes.
Unless, of course, you book an encounter with one of the animals. But even that is happening in a cage that is very plain. Other cages all around. No great scenery. Yes, you get your picture with that cheetah and you can touch it, but somehow the whole thing doesn't feel very customer oriented. It's OK, because they are a preservation project, but it could be much more interesting, engaging and enjoyable if it were not so very basic.
At least, R10 is a very small price and if you are in the area anyway, it is worth a visit.

Great outing to this little gem. Place needs more people to come through the gates. Mainly volunteers from Europe giving of there time to raise awareness of the plight. Beautiful animals that you can interact with as well

Underwhelming experience. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable but there’s really not much to do or see. They have 7 cheetahs. The “cheetah encounter is simply just a photo-op where you get to see one up close while on a leash.

I appreciate the great work they’re going to protect the animals from extinction and this is a great organisation but not a great attraction at all for visitors.

They also charge you extra for paying with a card. This extra fee also seems to be made up on the spot. We were told 3% extra but others were charged up to 7% which is interesting because they use YOCO card machines which charge 2.6% - 2.95% per transaction according to their website.

Awesome place to see some cheetahs. Got up close and took pictures with them. Unfortunately you cannot touch them due to covid.

Loads of fun and extremely informative. A few other animals besides the magnificent cheetahs.

Wow! What a unique experience. Thank you to the handlers and volunteers for a informative tour. It was a small price to pay for what we received. We will definitely come again!
