Guided tour at the Cheetah Centre including Cheetah and Wild Dog breeding and other programmes. Although the Cheetah breeding programme was the main initiative that led to the foundation of the centre in 1971, there are many other animals whose continued existence and genetic diversity is supported by various breeding programmes at the centre. Here one can see Cheetahs of course and African Wild Dogs in the larger rewilding projects, but also Brown Hyena, Caracal, Serval, African Wild cat Vultures and many other large bird species, various antelope, wildebeest, meerkats ostriches and other animals added time to time. The beautiful natural surroundings beneath the Magaliesberg Mountains enhance the entire experience. If you have to leave your hotel early for the morning programme (this one includes the "Cheetah Run") ask your hotel for a packed breakfast and you can enjoy it on a picnic there while you wait for the programme to start. You might like to consider while, in the region, visiting other attractions. This area to the northwest of Johannesburg and Pretoria is scenic and has many natural attractions and activities. There are other attractions you can add to your day.
