Ann Van Dyk Cheetah Centre Tour ab Johannesburg oder Pretoria

The Cheetah center was designed to rescue and house cheetahs who had no place to go and caused problems where they were. It has clearly grown over the years but its main purpose is education based on seeing these lovely animals and learning their stories. In addition to a goodly number of cheetahs the center has other interesting and endangered species. Included are a number of painted dogs, hyenas, a number of breeding groups of endangered vultures, and many others. They had a honey badger, they had a caracal, and they had the only nyalas I had ever seen. This is a place definitely worth a morning or afternoon.

Ann Van Dyk Cheetah Centre. Great afternoon here. We went on the safari truck around the compound to see various animals including meerkats, wild dogs, lynx as well as the expected cheetahs. First we had a short movie (5/10mins) on the background of Ann Van Dyk’s family history in relation to the Cheetah Park and then were taken around. The information given by the guide was interesting and informative. Took about 1.5hrs this will vary as you are given chance to ask questions at each compound. Definitely take water and even maybe snacks, you can buy them there. Disappointed that the cafe wasn’t open as we were very early. You may need someone to help you get on and off the bus if you have mobility problems as the step up and down is very high. Quite hard to find. The place that we stopped at to ask for directions said that a lot of people come to them for directions for this attraction.

Dies ist eine erstaunliche Möglichkeit, Tiere (nicht nur Geparden) aus nächster Nähe zu sehen. Der Leitfaden bietet viele Informationen. Die Tiere sind schön und gut gepflegt, und das Zentrum ist eine Stütze, die es wert ist, unterstützt zu werden.
