This is not just a great way to learn about these amazing animals; it is also a unique up close photographic opportunity. A superb introduction to conservation and the work done by the N/a’an ku sê Foundation.

Habituated cheetahs have lost their fear of humans – a fear that is crucial in elevating their survival chances in the wild. For this reason, some of the magnificent spotted sprinters at N/a’an ku sê need to remain in captivity, having come to the sanctuary from various conf lict situations at very young ages, requiring dedicated care to ensure their survival. The N/a’an ku sê Foundation aims to fully nurture and encourage their natural behaviour. Hence, the team is making sure that their captivity is resembling the life of their wild counterparts as closely as possible. Enjoy time with our habituated big cats, in the hands of an experienced and knowledgeable guide.
