点评:Our family of four enjoyed our VIP experience today and learned a great deal from the very capable team at Cheetah Outreach. I have two boys, a 17.5 year old and a 12 year old, both eager to learn about cheetahs. We saw other cheetah experiences in Zimbabwe and Johannesburg but I didn’t like what I was seeing the massive ads…cheetahs on leashes and photo packages? Didn’t feel right. However, this place, Cheetah Outreach, isn’t like that. At Cheetah Outreach, they care greatly about the animals and the animals themselves let their handler know if they’re in the mood for an encounter or not. The cheetahs are well cared for and respected, not treated like monetizing props.
We had a chance to ask a lot of questions in addition to petting one of the male cheetahs in the manner instructed. One of the staff members took photos for us while we petted the cheetah and asked questions on the side. We weren’t here for photos although we got lots, we came to learn.
It was interesting to hear about how their dog program helps cheetahs too. These cheetahs are ambassadors and now it is up to us to spread the word about the desperately low number of them left in the wild, and help with conservation efforts.
We booked directly and took Uber here. Their communication was great throughout.
Great experience! Come with a good attitude to learn and be respectful of the animals. They are amazing.
翻译:今天我们一家四口享受了VIP体验,并从Cheetah Outreach的专业团队那里学到了很多东西。我有两个儿子,一个17岁半,一个12岁,他们都对猎豹很感兴趣。我们在津巴布韦和约翰内斯堡也看过一些猎豹体验项目,但我不太喜欢那些铺天盖地的广告……猎豹被拴着,还有各种拍照套餐?感觉不太对劲。然而,Cheetah Outreach完全不同。在这里,工作人员非常关心动物,猎豹们会通过自己的反应告诉饲养员它们是否想与人互动。猎豹们得到了很好的照顾和尊重,而不是被当作赚钱的工具。
除了按照指示抚摸一只雄性猎豹之外,我们还有机会问了很多问题。一位工作人员在我们抚摸猎豹和提问的时候帮我们拍照。我们来这里不是为了拍照(虽然拍了很多),而是为了学习。
听说他们的狗狗项目也帮助猎豹,真是太有趣了。这些猎豹是动物大使,现在我们有责任让更多人了解野生猎豹数量锐减的现状,并参与到保护工作中来。
我们直接预订,然后打车过来的。整个过程中他们的沟通都很顺畅。
非常棒的体验!带着学习的热情和对动物的尊重来这里吧。它们真的很棒。
