Cheetah Outreach Spier Reviews

Its very silly and boring .. One star is very good for them

I do like this place. The work they do to save the cheetahs is great. People from all over the world come to assist with the cheetahs. You're can see this people go out of their way to save the animals. You're almost pay nothing to see the animals. You're can take photos with the cheetahs. Even pat them, under supervision. Main building very clean. Ample parking. A must see for children. Specially the disadvantage. To get small children involved will help save the species

The tour was OK, they show you around the sanctuary and take you up to a viewing deck that over looks all the cages but you don't actually get to see the animals unless you pay for an encounter. Use ENTERTAINER APP

I very much wished I could write a great review, but I cannot. I went in Sept 2017 with my girlfriend. The staff was stoic. Getting to and from Cape Town was quite difficult with traffic. Quite disappointed.

These funds go to preserve cheetahs and educate the public and farmers regarding alternatives to killing cheetahs.

Cheetahs are in large enclosures, can move around freely and are well looked after and in good shape. This is a place which deserves a good visit.

Whilst in the Western Cape this is a must if only to help fund the protection of this beautiful endangered cat and to understand and hopefully assist in its preservation given the dwindling numbers and threats to its existence. The cheetah encounter, for those eligible (age restrictions ) is a fantastic experience when you can stroke a cheetah and feel and hear it purr. The outreach centre is battling against cheetah shooting, poisoning and trapping by farmers who see them as a threat to livestock by encouraging protection of livestock with the assistance of non lethal Turkish dogs which protect a flock or herd but do not harm or attack the cheetah. You can also make further contributions on-line.

Trained guides, also German, well signposted enclosures, start video, no promotion of the option "caress a cheetah", plenty of dates for guidance, P + coffee

Its not what you expect. Cheetahs are always sleeping. Staff tries to squeeze everyone in one visit with one cheetah though there are several others. Its not worth the money R250 and R150. Cash only is a really bad thing.

A great way to get up close to some truly magnificent creatures and support an organization that does good work to protect wild cheetahs and other endangered African predators while also helping local farmers (Win-Win!). The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Just be sure to take cash, as cards are not accepted. They do have an ATM.

I prefer to come when they feed that is where yoy see then the most

A great stop off the highway, walked around and didn t see too much but was a nice, quiet place to visit and see cheetahs. Cute babies!!

An ok place. I expected a bit more though. But okay all the same. It was great interacting with a Cheetah. Not as cuddly as lion cubs at the Lion Park, but again ... Okay.

Not much to see as cages are not really accessible when walking around...and my son's waited so long to get to touch the cheetah that they were hot and bothered and did not enjoy the experience.

Cool to see the cheetas us close. Wish they had a bit more room to run but it is nice to have close to the city.

Cheetah farm is definitely worth a visit, and getting picture with a Cheetah makes it a must do

Always a popular place to go to, the staff quite clued up on the different species of animals there. Nice to see them up close and personal. Well worth the visit.

It was good too see the cheetahs, but unless you do the Cheetah encounter, there isn't anything thats stands out

The work they do is amazing, but the visit we had there was a somewhat let down. The staff are very friendly and the place is well maintained, but the lady that took us inside to touch the cheetah was not very interested. Not informative at all, just asked if we had any questions. It was not even 3 minutes and my 8 year old learnt only things we told him or seen on YouTube. I was hoping for it to have been more interesting than here is the cheetah they are part of the cat family, fastest land animal now pet it.... take a photo and walk around the rest of the cages by yourselves. Maybe it was just a bad day for her, and others will have better experiences.

Very small and touristy, cheetah are keep in captivity will never be released to the wild. Still it's for a good cause.

Close up and personal. Unique experience to stroke a fully grown male cheetah.

Amazing experience with the cheetahs. Very friendly staff.

Most amazing place, with amazing people working there. Everyone should have this experience. Those cats are beautiful.

Too little to see if you don't pay the R150 to see and touch the leopards

Not amazing but everything one would expect from an outreach program

Awesome place they really take care of the animals there. You can also pet the cheetahs for a couple of minutes for a fee which goes into the sanctuary in helping more cheetahs. They do not drug the cheetahs for touching purposes either and have strict hygiene control. They have 30 cheetahs that they rotate daily for petting so they are not over worked

We enjoyed our visit. Lovely to see the care and attention the team provides for the Cheetahs and the other animals. We did the cheetah experience and it was great to touch and feel the fur. For the price however I somewhat expected more.

Amazing people and such a blessing to interact with the animals.

Splendid structure in which to meet different felines. The main attraction is the cheetah, you can caress it and take pictures with it for R170. I advise you to have the experience with the puppies, they are more free.

To experience a cheetah is unique. The approach of protecting these animals by this association seems very healthy. Small flat, pens are present and the question of whether there are cheetahs have enough room to frolic pose.

The amazing work done here to rescue cheetahs is really heart warming.

Tickets are cheap, but you get what you pay for.

The sales lady tired to sell us a ticket for a 4 month old baby - lol

Not much to see here and id say there are far better places in South Africa to have encounters with Cheetahs.

Always nice for the kids and stirs the wildlife era in them. Surely makes me calm

The cubs were super cute! The staff super friendly. All in all a worthwhile trip for a worthwhile cause :)

Must do for anyone, cheetahs are well looked after. What a fabulous experience

Not really a thing.. petting zoo cheetahs and just this. 200 bucks to pet a big cat for 15 mins. If you don't have anything to do, we'll.. maybe it's a good one.

Nice concept and nice to see and pat Cheetahs but not the same as seeing them in the wild or even seeing them roam in a large game park. Understandable in necessity and the work they do is essential so worth visiting if only to support them financially.

It was very informative and the work that the poeple there do is admirable

Petting cheetahs! And their program to decrease indiscriminate killings of wildlife in SA.

Amazing work . Knowledgeable and passionate staff. Highly recommended !

The talk in the classroom for the children were good and they enjoyed to see all the animals. Though it is sad that they are in cages they are well looked after and used to educate people to take better care of our nature!

Staff were friendly. Ebony, the Cheetah was damn cute and completely relaxed. Wanted to Hug him.

Always love to visit and listen to our international clients feedback will definitely recommend a must visit if you are in cape town

A place that covers a lot of ecological and animal awareness, a must for anyone passing through Cape Town

Not too many other places to strome a cheetah cub! Loved it.

Great experience and interactive... Steep price for the encounter however i enjoyed it some might find it not satisfying as you can only meet the cubs when they are asleep as soon as they wake up you must leave. And they are not so small they are 8-9 months old... I first thought they would much smaller and you could play around with them but that's not the case

Keep on creating the awareness of the cheetahs. Your Hound program in conjunction with the farmers blew me away. Awesome keep this up. This is one project that we should all support. an extra very well done to all farmers on the program.

It's a nice place to see cheetahs close to Cape Town, even though they're in captivity. A little cafe/coffee shop would have been nice to sit down and relax a bit. Otherwise if you're in Cape Town and really want to see cheetahs, this is the place to go.

Feels like a lot of money to touch a cheetah for a few minutes, but a wonderful experience to spend some quiet time in and amongst wildlife. Money for a good cause.

A must see when in the Cape Town area,such a special experience to spend time with the cheetahs.

Really disappointing experience , confusing organisation, feel like I spent too much money - sad

Incredible place! They're doing great work and it's a quick and easy way to interact with some awesome animals.

Wouldn't really recommend this place for photographers specifically. Photographers are not allowed to shoot with their own cameras and the equipment has to be passed on to their staff members for photography. When we visited, there wasn't enough staff handlers around and it seemed that only one cheetah is available for the close encounter experience. It was pretty cooling in the morning and the cheetah was active, which also mean that quite a big group of visitors were actually waiting to get into the enclosure for the experience. Other than this, the center is doing great work for the animals there, and we understand that the welfare and comfort of the animals always come first. Just note that this comment is targeted at photographers who want to take the shots themselves, this may not be the right place to do this. We only knew about this restriction during the safety briefing, and we thought it would be important to mention this prior to some photographers actually making a visit.

Family loved it, very friendly staff and lots to see .

Encounters with all kinds of wild cats. Be sure to take a full wallet along, no card facilities and they only accept cash. (They have a miniature ATM on site)

Nice family outing but not ideal for restless children.

There could have been more information given to the public about Cheetahs

These are one of my favorite big cats, and this organization is dedicated to caring, and conserving these beautiful endangered creatures. This place needs encouraged support. A must see !

Definitely worth it. The animal keepers are totally nice and clear up and ensure that nothing happens. A great experience to pet a cheetah

Be sure to visit slapping the gebardia. Visited 2 times

Good place to see cheetahs.

This isn't a zoo, the people there are most concerned about the well being of the animals rather than giving you a show. The animals are in large spaces n are mostly just relaxing n recovering.

We took our 3y/o who likes animals, but is still learning boundaries n how to behave when not home, so he was VERY excited and a bit too much so, to experience the cheetahs n jackals while the were out of the cage.
