365 DAYS OF SUPER NATURAL ENCOUNTERS
Situated just 3km outside of the picturesque Karoo town of Oudtshoorn, the Cango Wildlife Ranch offers sanctuary to some of the world's most endangered species and a haven to visitors. Welcome to the Cango Wildlife Ranch, the oldest and largest cheetah contact centre worldwide where you can see and feel a huge variety of animals including Africa's spotted king, the cheetah. From the slithering snake to the majestic lion, you will find all you want here.
Since its inception in 1977 the ranch has become one of the largest tourist attractions in the region. Cheetahland was developed in 1988 and became the home of a variety of cats such as lion and jaguar, helping us with our goal to promote public awareness of endangered species.
The thrill of Valley of Ancients and Natural Encounters were completed in 2005 adding a thrill element to learning about crocodiles and making the Cango Wildlife Ranch one of the most interactive, exciting tourist attractions worldwide. New species of animals such as Madagascar Lemur, Spotted-necked otter and Marabou stork were brought in to awe visitors. The Natural Encounter program offers visitors young and old the once in a lifetime opportunity of interacting with some of our animals.
Let the young ones wander around our Kiddies farm yard where they can connect with nature by feeding and cuddling our hand reared rabbits, guinea pigs and goats.
If you are looking for a zoo, you will be sorely disappointed. The Cango Wildlife Ranch is uniquely designed to comfortably host more than 110 species of animals, giving visitors the opportunity to view and, in some cases, even interact with a variety of endangered animals.
Enter Valley of Ancients on a 60minute guided tour through the impressive Zimbakwe Temple ruins and tropical forest; home to giant flying foxes, tiny rare blue duiker and view crocodiles under water. Cross the swing bridge at Snapper Gorge as you echo along the mighty river of the Valley of Ancients. Encounter the many rare and spectacular creatures of this ancient world such as leaping lemurs, secretive red river hogs and pygmy hippos. Thrill at the prospect of cage diving with the mighty Nile crocs and witness Jumping Jaws as they lunge for lunch. We promise to keep you spellbound on your journey through this super-natural wonderland!
Get close! Get very close to our stars and stripes in Cheetahland! Thrill as you meander the catwalk high over large natural enclosures home to some of the world’s magnificent big cats. From your treetop lookout view the elegant cheetah, mighty lion and our spectacular White Tigers. Experience the wonder of your own personal encounter with purring hand-raised cheetah and some of our other ambassador big cats. Feed lorikeets in Kuranda Forest or wallabies in Wallaby Walkabout. Drape a friendly python around your neck or cuddle your favorite farmyard friend, then grab a bite to eat in the impressive "Grunts" tropical restaurant before entering "Jungle-Jims" kidz zone and water park designed for kids from tiny tots to 14 year olds. The greatest fun under the African sun!
