The 10,000-acre TUSK Cheetah Rehabilitation Area was completed towards the end of 1999 and stocked with game by mid 2000. The first cheetahs, 3 orphan sibling males, who had been with AfriCat since they were two months old, were released in November 2000. These cheetahs were successful in sustaining themselves almost from the start with hunts that included kudu, impala, scrub hares, hartebeest, zebra, steenbok and duiker.

During your visit you have the opportunity to:

• Interact with on-site staff to learn more about the work of the AfriCat Foundation which includes the carnivore rescue and release programme, cheetah rehabilitation, research projects, animal welfare and environmental education.
• View cheetahs and leopards from game-viewing vehicles, lions from a lapa and wild dogs.
  
• Track radio-collared cheetahs on foot within the cheetah rehabilitation area.

Prior to your expedition's departure you will receive a cheetah adoption pack from The AfriCat Foundation that includes: 

• A personalised adoption certificate together with a colour photograph of your adopted cat.
• A brief history of why the adopted cat is in AfriCat’s care.
• A subscription to the AfriCat Newsletter - keeping you informed about the happenings at AfriCat and the progress of ongoing projects.

The annual fee for adopting a cheetah goes towards covering the cost of food and routine medical expenses. Your first year's fee is donated by Baobab Expeditions.
