The Ann van Dyk Cheetah Centre - De Wildt news and reviews

[Arizona Docent]

Official website: The Ann van Dyk Cheetah Centre - De Wildt

Founded in 1971 and run under the name DeWildt Cheetah Centre for most of its life, the name was recently changed to Ann Van Dyk Cheetah Centre in honor of the founder. This is the premiere cheetah breeding center in the world and is the originator of most of the world's king cheetahs. In recent years they have expanded their breeding efforts to other animals from the region. Guided tours are offered daily.

Here is a list of species, based on the thumbnails in their photo gallery (I did not see a printed list of names on the website).

cheetah (both king and regular)
african wildcat
caracal
brown hyena
wild (or painted) dog
honey badger
meerkat

blue (or stanley) crane
cape vulture
egyptian vulture
lappet faced vulture
white backed vulture

Didn't they did some work with the endangered Riverine or bushman rabbit ?

Could be - there may be a couple animals not shown in the photo gallery. I seem to recall reading about black footed cats at one time, which are not shown on the website either.

I don't think they had black-footed cat's when I went in Summer 2009.
Slowly going to post my pictures up in the gallery

Amazing place, amazing people
