Grandchildren enjoyed it, Most animals sleeping or not visible. Cheetah cubs made up for the other sleepy heads.

Restaurant overpriced with boring presentation. No mustard? R460.00 for two burgers, small calamari and Boerewors roll.More

Cheetah sanctuary but it’s pretty much like a zoo

Good place if you want too see and interact with cheetahs, however, all were born and raised in captivity. Lemurs and other animals are displayed in cages, I’ll rather go on a safari and try to spot free and wild animals (not what expected). Went...More

nice guided visit but a sad zoo

We initially wanted to go there as we thought it was a sort of rehabilitation center. Got a bit disappointed that it was a zoo and a tiny one at that. Reading the reviews and management responses on Tripadvisor I see that they affirm that...More

Good afternoon Samuel, It's sad to note that the moment you realized we are a zoological facility you were disappointed. That says a lot about the negative stigma and bias historic zoos, and many zoos still today, have placed on facilities like ours. The focus...More

Can a guest use their own camera to take pictures during the additional cost animal encounters or is the only choice for pictures to purchase pictures or the 4GB USB photos taken by Cango Wildlife Ranch?

How long of a time does someone have with the animals in the additional cost animal encounters?

Hi. There were four of us in the group and we all had a go at stroking the cheetah individually and then as a couple. I think we were in the enclosure for about 40 minutes. An amazing experience. Well worth it!

We are travelling from Ireland & thinking of booking a night here during first 2 weeks of January, and coming to the Wildlife Ranch. Can we book in advance so we can arrange accommodation before we go to Africa?

22 August 2018|

AnswerShow all 10 answers

There is no need to book in advance as they have tours every 30 minutes. You might want to stay for 2 nights though so you can visit the Cango Caves & one of the Ostrich farms too.
