Noah's Ark near Pretoria - The Cheetah center was designed to rescue and house cheetahs who had no place to go and caused problems where they were. It has clearly grown over the years but its main purpose is education based on seeing these lovely animals and learning their stories. In addition to a goodly number of cheetahs the center has other interesting and endangered species. Included are a number of painted dogs, hyenas, a number of breeding groups of endangered vultures, and many others. They had a honey badger, they had a caracal, and they had the only nyalas I had ever seen. This is a place definitely worth a morning or afternoon.

Great Place to Visit - Ann Van Dyk Cheetah Centre. Great afternoon here. We went on the safari truck around the compound to see various animals including meerkats, wild dogs, lynx as well as the expected cheetahs. First we had a short movie (5/10mins) on the background of Ann Van Dyk’s family history in relation to the Cheetah Park and then were taken around. The information given by the guide was interesting and informative. Took about 1.5hrs this will vary as you are given chance to ask questions at each compound. Definitely take water and even maybe snacks, you can buy them there. Disappointed that the cafe wasn’t open as we were very early. You may need someone to help you get on and off the bus if you have mobility problems as the step up and down is very high. Quite hard to find. The place that we stopped at to ask for directions said that a lot of people come to them for directions for this attraction.

Fabulous experience - This is an amazing way to see animals (not just cheetahs) up close and personal. The guide provides a lot of information. The animals are beautiful and well cared for, and the center is a cause worth supporting.

Amazing, - Now on my sixth working trip to Pretoria, each time I am here I have to visit this centre, it is truly amazing. The Cheetahs are wonderful animals, the setting great and the staff very knowledgeable and able to pass on their knowledge. The early morning chase the lure, meet a Cheetah close up and the tour of the enclosures all add up to the best attraction I have seen. I can not recommend it highly enough! Love the place.
