Karoo Cheetah Project
The Karoo Cheetah Project
The Karoo Cheetah Project is a leading wildlife conservation initiative dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and rewilding of cheetahs in the Western Cape, South Africa. Based at Inverdoorn Private Game Reserve, the project plays a crucial role in restoring cheetah populations to the Tankwa Karoo while raising awareness about the challenges these endangered predators face.
Cheetah Breeding Project
As part of our conservation efforts, the Cheetah Breeding Project focuses on responsible breeding practices to support genetic diversity and prepare captive-bred cheetahs for life in the wild.
Every cheetah in the programme undergoes a structured rehabilitation process to develop the essential skills needed for survival outside of captivity.
Captive-Cheetah Rescue and Rehabilitation
Many cheetahs in captivity suffer from poor conditions, lack of space, and minimal stimulation. Our rescue and rehabilitation efforts provide a safe, spacious, and natural environment where rescued cheetahs can recover, regain their instincts, and, where possible, be reintroduced into the wild.
The Cheetah Run
A key element of rehabilitation is the Cheetah Run, an initiative designed to help cheetahs regain their natural speed, agility, and hunting instincts.
This daily exercise routine allows them to chase moving targets, mimic wild hunting behaviour, and build the strength needed for survival.
