    Volunteering at Cheetah Experience is one of the most incredible and rewarding experiences I’ve ever done. I have been there 3 times now and it definitely won’t be my last time returning there.
    The staff is truly amazing! They are very professional, commited and the animals are always a first priority and come first. You can really see the people’s passion and dedication to give all the animals the best life possible. The tours that they offer are very educational and give people from all around the world an insight into animal conservation. The animals enclosures are big with a natural environment and are cleaned on a daily basis.
    As a volunteer I got to meet other people from different countries and even build new friendships. During this time I learned so much about cheetahs and all other animals at Cheetah Experience.
    I have never seen a better place where they treat animals with this much respect, take care of their health and well-being.
    This is definitely a „must“ if you are visiting South Africa or want to contribute as a volunteer to a good cause.

    We spent a tranquil week surrounded by wildlife. We did not see any of the Big 5, but nonetheless we were happy with what we saw. Ingwe Camp is well run, with very friendly, helpful staff.

    I personally wouldn’t take children under 8 to Ingwe. The units are in the bush with no flat areas for kids to play. Warthogs are in abundance so I wouldn’t allow kids to venture beyond the unit. There are, however, 2 swimming pools (one heated) and a large play area behind reception.

    The loft units have a very steep incline access path so we requested a porter to carry our bags. Also note that the bathroom is on the ground floor and the bedroom in the loft. Trips to the toilet at night could be hazardous!

    All in all we had a great time. Frans took us on an informative game drive where we saw giraffe, zebra and nyala.

    Wonderful experience !!!
    We booked the vehicle for a game drive as friends. Staff were friendly and provided a lot of interesting information during the ride. Even the 11 year olds listened attentively during the 2 hour ride.
    The animals are very well cared for !!!

    Very informative tour. I'm so pleased it was not a zoo, and they genuinely rehabilitate the animals. It would be nice to see larger enclosures for the creatures that can not be rehabilitated.

    Feracare Wildlife Centre is a great place in Bela Bela as a stopover. The accomodations are clean and spacious. Have your breakfast while enjoying the beautiful scenery of this place.

    Feracare is one of the leading wildlife centres with the expertise in rehabilitating cheetahs and other wildlife back into the wild.
    During your stay you can experience several activities such as feeding cheetahs, cheetah run and do a wildlife tour in the reserve.

    Every time is coming home far away from home.

    Wow what a great venue for adults and kids. Lots of activities to keep the kids busy while the adults can relax and watch their kids having fun. Very nice food and drink for adults and kids.

    A peaceful sanctuary where broken Vervet monkey hearts are lovingly rehabilitated towards a second chance at freedom. Definitely worth your visit and support!
