点评:We visited Cheetah Outreach not having very high expectations but we were very pleasantly surprised. We booked for an encounter with Zorro the cheetah cub who was 14 months old. All members of staff were very helpful, welcoming and experienced in their handling of a situation involving strangers having contact with the beautiful cheetahs that they clearly cared for passionately. Health and safety for the individual cheetahs and visitors were their priority and the safety briefing was delivered sensitively and with appropriate authority. It was a privilege to meet Zorro and Victor, the Anatolian Shepherd dog who is his companion at the centre. The Anatolian shepherd dog is part of the organisation's strategy to protect cheetahs as funding from money generated at the centre is used to train the dogs to help farmers keep cheetahs at bay when they come for their cattle in remote areas of South Africa and beyond. The cheetahs are at the centre because they are orphaned or their mother would not accept them. The close encounter we had with Zorro was fantastic and we would recommend a visit if you are in the area.
The other creatures at the centre are a side show but the Meerkats were great.

中心的其他动物只是配角,但狐獴真的非常精彩。
