This guided conservation experience offers guests an in-depth look at the scientific process behind cheetah monitoring and protection. Led by wildlife veterinarians and conservation specialists, participants learn how radio collars are safely fitted and how the data collected is used to track movement patterns, study behaviour, reduce human–wildlife conflict, and support long-term conservation strategies. A rare opportunity to observe applied wildlife science in the field and understand how research directly informs cheetah conservation efforts.

This high-energy, educational experience offers guests a rare insight into how canine units operate on the frontline of wildlife protection. The first session focuses on observing structured training exercises, where handlers explain the dogs’ advanced detection skills, discipline, and role within anti-poaching operations. The experience then shifts into an adrenaline-fuelled, on-foot field exercise, as guests accompany the unit while the dogs actively track an unwanted threat. A powerful demonstration of intelligence, teamwork, and real-world conservation in action.
