Please don’t miss this one - It was a fascinating experience to understand the work of the research centre and that the animals are released into the wild to start their own families. It was amazing to see the cheetahs at so close proximity - their beauty is sublime. The staff are very brave in the way they get so close to wild animals and it was a huge privilege to be in their midst. An amazing experience.

Really beautiful - Oh my gosh. What a fabulous overnight and tour. We stayed in the tents, Lydia cooked a wonderful meal for us, a beer by the fire- joyous! They have just revamped the whole lodge, it's right next to the Anne vanDyk park for the cheetah tours, the tent area is fabulous and the lodge is really welcoming. We'll be back!

DeWildt was good. Virgio Tours was NOT. - The tour organizer changed my departure time 4 times the day before!! I had just landed from a long haul flight and was lucky I had wifi otherwise I would have been left standing with no information. It was very frustrating. Although DeWildt was a nice experience dealing with the vendor was not. The tour promised water and snacks which did not happen. Afterwards they requested I review the experience, and they sent me an email saying “This old lady is trying to review …”. I don’t know who that was meant for but it came to me. This is what they think of their clients.
