VISITING THE CENTRE

Following an introductory presentation, day visitors are treated to an in-depth tour of the centre.

Departing on the hour, open safari vehicles with experienced guides move between the various enclosures, enabling participants to view cheetahs, wild dogs, lions, black-footed cats, african wild cats, ground hornbills, sable antelope and much more.

A popular stop en-route is the 'vulture restaurant', where you can watch the rare African vulture swoop down to feed on the carcass remains.
