The Cheetah Centre in South Africa was established in 1971, initially as a cheetah breeding project and the Centre has during the past 40 years bred over 800 cheetah cubs. Various conservation projects have been initiated since its inception which also includes a successful African wild dog breeding programme. Known in the past as the De Wildt Cheetah Centre the name has recently been changed to the Ann van Dyk Cheetah Centre as a tribute to the woman who has devoted her life to the survival of the cheetahs as well as other rare and endangered species. A visit to the Ann Van Dyk Cheetah Centre is an amazing experience. If you love seeing animals, especially endangered ones, this is the place to go. The tour guides are great and give lots of information about the animals. Try to book for the early morning cheetah run - it is an incredible experience. Tour the Centre and go on the game drive through a wild dog enclosure and a cheetah enclosure. And see caracals and servals get fed along the way. You can also sponsor animals at the Centre.

The center is known for its breeding success of rare and endangered species. A tour affords the opportunity of viewing cheetah, African wild dog and various other species at close range.
