History
The Cape Winelands grew from 17th-century Dutch farms; estates today mix that agricultural legacy with contemporary art and culinary experimentation.
Conservation
Support responsible operators: stay on paths, avoid feeding wildlife, and recognize that Cheetah Outreach focuses on rehabilitation and education rather than wild release.

Book early and confirm pickup

Avoid Tuesdays for encounters
Cheetah Outreach reserves Tuesdays for enrichment, which can limit public interactions — check the sanctuary schedule before booking.

Respect viewing distances
Follow guide instructions at the sanctuary: no feeding, no sudden movements, and use a zoom lens for close photos.
Comfortable walking shoes
Support and grip for short estate walks and uneven paths at the sanctuary.
