De Wildt Cheetah Sanctuary

If I'd backblipped these when the option first became available, I would have had so much more to write about this day. The centre run cheetah breeding schemes and work with local farmers to encourage them to not just kill cheetahs on sight. They also run education in schools to teach young children who may take over thier family's farms about cheetahs. They have honey badgers, anatolian shepherd dogs that grow up with a herd of animals and keep cheetahs at bay, they have various wild cats and vultures.

At the end of the tour we had the opportunity to stroke one of the education cheetahs. It was amazing, you could feel him purring and it was such a fantastic experience.
