Cheetah Outreach Spier Reviews

Great friendly service, especially the guys & girls helping out, awesome job, keep up the good work.

Absolutely fabulous people and animals.
Life moments made true.

Cool place could maybe streamline the welcome and reception a bit more but really cool initiative thats very close to my heart

Awesome animal husbandry, great attention to the visitors as well

Great cat encounters, however the queues can add on 30mins to 1hr waiting time....

It was really interesting. Very clean and neat place. They do care about animals

Always great when human beings do their bit to save animals and the environment

What an awesome experience interacting with the Cheetahs.

I love this place so much. It was such a great experience touching a cheetah

It was cold and windy when we went. Our group walked around the reserve for about 20 minutes. The staff was helpful and kind.

Great little place to interact with a cheetah. Nothing big but something to enjoy doing with the family.

They have a very interesting program geared towards helping cheetahs and other small animals.

A lovely initiative... I believe in preserving animals and this place is doing great. The cheetah encounter was also amazing (i mean how many people can say they got to be that close to a wild cat?)

I love it here, the fresh breeze when one walks in & the love from all the animals is felt miles away...

Amazing experience. Does not take very long but well worth going. Sebastian the Mercat is a huge highlight!

Amazing work being done to protect cheetahs in the wild. Opportunity to touch stroke cheetahs, meerkats etc.

Nice place to visit. Enjoyed being able to get close to the cheetah cubs

It's got some great animals to see (not to many - about 15-20) that makes for a nice, short (and inexpensive) visit if you're not paying to touch the animals. The various encounters you can pay for are quite expensive but then you can touch a cheetah, bat-eared fox and other animals.

Good experience, although I'd like to see some more animals in the cages!

Awesome being so close to a wild animal and learning more about them. Friendly volunteers

Wonderful experience. Highly recommended. They do wonderful work.

Guys this is a tourist trap, you can clearly see the Local Guides support this place full on, but to be honest, you pay a lot for a few strokes of the animal and thats about it.

But the people are friendly, very informative and very knowledgeable. BUT this is a business in the end, therefore its no surprise they try to make as much money as possible without causing problems to the animal welfare people.

Good luck

Touching the cheetah is not as fun as I thought. You have to sanitize your hands and be very quiet.

Staff was very good and loved to be close to the cheetahs.

Do a great job for the animals. But the place is small and the petting is really short. But interesting and recommended

Great place, the people that work there are the best

The animals are gorgeous, majestically creatures! More people need to visit and support this organization.

It was an educational place. We each paid R160 for an adult encounter but was disappointed that the encounter was only for shorter than 15 minutes. The advertisement was a bit misleading. Encounter from 10:00 to 1:00 pm made people falsely think that the encounter will be for 3 hours but in fact, it is within those three hours, you can have encounters each of only 15 mins. I understand that animals need privacy and that we shouldn t invade in their personal space but then the price still doesn t reflect the value from the experience.

Petting the Cheetah's was so cool. Our guide was very knowledgable and much more that just cheetahs. They breed the dogs to send to farmers to prevent cheetahs in the wild from being shot.

Stunning place to have a visit and show kiddies the animals

You are more or less forced to enter the cheetah cages as it is very difficult to see cheetahs otherwise.
Entree fee of the park is 5Rand only

Loved this place! They took some amazing pictures of me with the cheetahs on my phone too so I didn't have to buy the ones they sell. Great place to visit.

Love the work and dedication. Put back into the world what we take. Support these guys...

Loved it - the vollenteers are passionate about the animals they care for ,

Well presented venue with friendly staff. Worth a visit - kiosk with real coffee and cake

Would recommend such a interesting place, beautiful animals and great tour.

A bit of a wait to get in with only one lady handling the entrance fee and fielding questions, particularly being peak visiting season. Would recommend a prominent display at the main door with pricing which would enable those waiting in the queue to make up their mind before getting to the reception desk, thereby avoid delays from visitors trying to decide on their options.
Highlight the animal activity times i.e. at a low midday in summer season. For a good cause and trust the revenue will be put to good use.
Pleasant day trip and the children enjoyed the cub interaction.

Love these rescued beasts.
Great value visit.

You can encounter various animals ans especially cheetahs here. All money made goes to saving Cheetahs in South Africa. Only voulanteers work here and they are happy to explain interesting details about the animals.

Great people, knowledgeable and helpful. Wonderful to get up close to Cheetah and Caracal.

An unforgettable experience with cheetahs that aren't being exploited or doing anything they're uncomfortable with. The centre offers a range of various experiences at very good prices, the highlight being the cheetah encounter, which allows you to spend a few minutes and pet the cheetahs in the enclosure. They have a photographer too but if you dont want to buy the pictures the staff are happy to take some on your phone. It was fun afterwards to look at the other animals that live in the centre which include meerkats and tortoises.

Awesome. Taught us a lot of things about all the animals here.

Wonderful experience with such beautiful creatures. Well managed!

It was awesome serving the different types of animals found do clise by

Its amazing but they could give you more time with the cheetahs

Our kids did a meerkat experience, which was amazing for them. The handlers were excellent and I liked that it was left up to the meerkat to go to them. It was certainly not forced, and it took to my son very easily. Super gentle animal. The facility itself is not large, so if you don't do any of the extra activities, you may only spend a half hour there. The animal areas looked well kept and had plenty of shade and housing for them to hide away. Deducted a star as I felt that you didn't get a good idea of what they did the unless you had a personal guide to show you around. I think they should have a tour that starts every half hour that people could join before or after exploring on their own. And if that is available now, the info was not visible as far as we could tell.

The animals needs are put first in this amazing sanctuary. So no forced encounters of any kind. I loved the place so much, I went twice during my stay. Everyone that works there truly loves the animals! It s a wonderful place!

Very good guide wonderful work being done to preserve the cheeters

Good place to be educated on the state of wildlife.

Informative and very friendly staff..Mary may you be blessed with all the goodness this life has to offer.

An absolutely unforgettable experience. My kids loved petting the foxes and the cheetah's were beautiful. A must for animal lovers.

Great place to take kids to see cheetah and other wild animals and cheap only R5

Getting close and personal, great initiative, great program for the animals

Leopards are difficult to raise. At present, they are only 10 in size. There are other medium-sized animals such as the Bobcats. Some of them know that they are giving up. This training uses artificial feed to avoid wildness. They also try to train them to obey. Food is learning

Great effort by this team to protect wildlife and their adopt a dog program.

No card machine, wake up, it's 2019! (Autoteller also offline due to load shedding) So we spent the Cheetah money on drinks at the waterfront.

Great experience, great conservation work. I really enjoyed the encounter, the Cheetah purred the whole time and looked very happy, thank you for letting me meet him. I very wonderful way to protect the wild living population

The encounters are really special. Seeing these amazing animals and learning more about them was a big treat.

Not really much to it and the animals seemed in pretty small areas

Not really much going on .it looks rather very emty

Arrived on a public holiday, a huge amount required to be close to the cheetah, then did the casual walk through. Was so unfair that the staff kept the cheetahs at the furthest points of the enclosure and could not even see one. Extremely biased if you ask me. I understand they have to make enough money to look after the cheetahs, but at least give joe public a sporting chance to viewthe cheetahs.

Unique experience to be able to touch the animals. Very affordable

Neat place, but fairly small. Tours are supposedly available on the 30 of every hour, but often the guides are busy hosting encounters, so they don't do them. We didn't feel right about petting cheetahs (yes, these are all breeder on site, but...), so opted for just entry and a tour but no one was available. Without explanations, it's 20-30m max there.
