We loved this place. There is so much to like here including watching the staff working with the cheetahs, particularly working them out at high speeds.

We visited for the cheetah run in the morning (pre booked through our lodge). It was wonderful to see the cheetahs in such close proximity and the guide was knowledgeable and informative. We were very pleased to have had the opportunity to visit and support their work.

If you are in Namibia and have any interest in any of these C’s, this is a must stop. Although cheetahs may be the feature, the story is so much bigger and all the experiences you can select from are worth the trip. Not only has CCF studied the cheetah and saved countless orphaned cheetah but their conservation efforts with... More

It is not a zoo, it's a non-profit experiment saving cheetahs cubs who have been made orphans by the killing of their mother by an other animal.

We were ignorent about these animals. The run of young cheeta's at 8 o'clock in de morning gives the best photo's of your trip in Namibia. The guides learn you so much about the conservation of this wild cat. This is a must!
