What visitors say
As a regular here at Cheetah Run, it’s always amazing to see all 9 of the cheetahs out and about.. or even just laying down chilling out. I love Kasi, Chase, Dash, Qi, Nave, Keyara, Kabisa, Tendai and Thabo so much! Also love to watch…
We’ve seen this run so many times, and they always put so much care when dealing with this cats and also on the way they explain how the training process is done. You can tell these animals are taking care of very well, they look…
Some photos here are misleading, Cheetah Run is the animal exhibit with a couple of Cheetahs. Cheetah Hunt is the coaster. But it is cool to see the Cheetahs.
