De Wildt Cheetah Centre.

The De Wildt Cheetah Centre was established by Ann Van Dyk and her brother Godfrey in 1971 with the aim of breeding the severely endangered cheetah. In April 2006, the center celebrated its 35th anniversary, and has not only achieved the removal of the Cheetah from the endangered list, but also successfully breeds other endangered species, such as Wild dog, Brown hyena, Riverine rabbit, Suni antelope, and Blue duiker.

This is an exceptionally interesting tour, providing the visitor with a unique opportunity to learn more about South Africa’s fascinating wildlife - and the efforts to preserve it for future generations.

The De Wildt Cheetah and Wildlife Centre lies nestled in the foothills of the Magaliesberg, presenting a landscape of open African veld, many indigenous trees and a panoramic view of the north. De Wildt is renowned for its breeding success of rare and endangered species. The very rare King Cheetah was first bred here and similar success has been achieved in breeding Wild Dog, Brown Hyena, Blue Duiker, Suni Antelope and various species of vultures. The tour coincides with feeding time, so you’ll be able to observe these animals feeding in a natural, but controlled, habitat.
