Ann van Dyk Cheetah Centre

The Ann van Dyk Cheetah Centre spans a protected area where visitors can observe cheetahs, African wild dogs, caracals, and vultures in carefully designed enclosures that replicate their natural habitat.

Originally established in 1971 as the De Wildt Cheetah Research Centre, the facility was renamed in 2010 to honor Ann van Dyk, who dedicated her entire life to wildlife preservation and conservation efforts.

The centre serves as an educational hub that promotes awareness of South African wildlife through guided tours, school programs, and community outreach initiatives that foster understanding of predator conservation among local populations.

The facility operates daily from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM offering two-hour guided tours that require advance booking and include safety briefings for visitors of all ages.

The centre has produced over eighty scholarly publications through its research programs and maintains bio-secure zones to prevent disease transmission between captive and wild animal populations.
