A great experience and must see if you are near by. The fund contributes to the conservation and re location of Cheetah. I've read some reviews from people complaining about the Cheetah being kept in captivity, which is partially true. However, the Cheetah they keep in their enclosure are the Cheetah that cannot be relocated in their habitat because of age or circumstances they were found on. If the Cheetah didn't spend at least 8 months with their mother they have no chance of survival in the wild. Was great to see the Cheetah running and feeding, the ways they educate the community to live in harmony with the surrounding predators and the research they do. Prices are not low, but also not impossible to pay. We paid around 140 euro to see the Cheetah runs and the Cheetah viewing ride (2 people). This is to be seen as a 1 time donation to the fund

"Very nice modern accommodation with, not surprisingly, a cheetah themed decor! Food, both dinner and breakfast were very good. Arrived in time for (free) 2pm feeding session which turned out to be very interesting and informative. Particularly enjoyed the (pay for) 8am morning cheetah run where there was great close up views of running and resting cheetahs. Would highly recommend a stay here when going to or coming from Etosha. ( Would also recommend the Crocodile Farm Cafe in Otjiworongo for a lunch stop before heading up the CCF road)"

Amazing charity doing outstanding work through various projects to increase the Cheetah population. I would recommend staying there so you can do the 8am Cheetah run. The food is great , being a vegetarian it was the best I ate in Namibia.

My wife and I recently stayed at Cheetah Conservation Fund for two nights and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The Lodge was comfortable and the food excellent. We loved the Cheetah Run and the tours around the farm, in particular the 'Behind the Scenes' tour. We were very fortunate to meet Laurie Marker, the founder of the Fund who was so passionate, interesting and knowledgeable about cheetahs

Learn all you can about cheetahs, take the occasion to search for them among the trees with your guide, and watch them feed. The CCF is the place where babies, wounded or captive animals way have a chance to live a decent life. They also have rehabilitation programmes and other fascinating projects. Support them by visiting the shop, it had very nice and not overpriced craft (like everywhere else) when we visited.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time meeting all the cheetahs and hearing about how they are at risk in the wild but well cared for here at the conservation fund. It’s a pleasant drive (by Namibian road standards) around 45mins from Otjiwarongo to the entrance. After paying our entrance fee for all our activities we were taken on a safari with our knowledgeable guide Job who was very informative about the cheetahs, who we finally found well camouflaged and asleep!! He told us all about the dog programs that they operate to educate landowners and how they are unable to be released back into the wild as they are now dependent on the foundation to meet their needs. We then watched a video in the education centre and went through the museum…really very interesting. The next activity was the feeding of all the cheetahs…absolute precision in its execution! The cheetahs were pacing for a long time before they were actually fed and the interactions between them was entertaining to say the least! The staff know the habits and natures of each of the “cats” incredibly well….a real experience not to be missed, if you have the time! The whole place is a great setup and well worth visiting and your entrance fee goes to a wonderful cause…highly recommend you visit.

We were staying at the Babson house within the premises. The house is immaculate, the service second to none. The entire staff was fantastic, friendly, competent and always there for us. Wilma, our chef is top notch. We had a fully packed program, including all “official” activities, but also a lot of the behind the scenes detail. Wilma was coordinating all activities and made sure that we are on schedule. This stay was very educational about the efforts done by the CCF, way beyond the directly related activities around the cats, from their engagement with farmers, their herd dog breeding and training, their dairy and their medical and bio science activities. The CCF gives you a lot of insight into the conservation challenges of cheetahs. The cheetah run in the morning is providing a great opportunity to see these great cats at speed. Thank you to our guide, Job, for the fantastic sundowner and behind the scenes experience, Dr. Marker and her whole staff for sharing a lot of insight about their organization’s work around the world, especially Calum, who shared a lot about their farmer and dog programs. A visit at the CCF is recommended for everyone interested in these cats and the protection of these animals, especially if you want to get a better understanding on their conservation effort as an NPO. CCF is threating these cats with great respect and reintroduces the cats where possible. But is not a “petting zoo” for cheetahs.

The trip was amazing. I went with my college as a study abroad program. This organization are doing some great things for the cheetahs and the community. Everyone from Joe Brown (employee), Dr Matti (employee) as well as all the others treated us great. They are a wealth of knowledge. We were able to adopt a cheetah and do our part in helping this great organization. At the end of our visit, they hosted us with an authentic African meal and a delicious cake that said Goodbye MCC. I highly recommend stopping by.
