Amazing sanctuary, friendly staff and wide assortment of animals to look at. One of the few places that you can get up close and personal with the animals in our case the teenager cheetahs! The guides were very knowledgeable and had great respect for the animals in the park. The only reason that I am not giving a 5 would be that they have commercialised the photo taking in the close encounters, which I am okay with as the funds go back into supporting of the park. But if you are going to charge for photos please can you get a decent camera! Overall amazing place and would def recommend that you visit!

What a great place, we had the nicest guide named Leo, who was very knowledgeable and very pleasant, the wildlife ranch is amazing, clean and the animals all look very content and well kept. The interaction with the birds is fun and once you bring out the nectar be sure to get sat on. The whole day was an amazing experience and we'll worth it.

It is a beautiful garden where saving animals is paramount. We had a nice tour. And afterwards we had a cheetah encounter. We opted for the cubs. Three 11 month old cubs. Wow what a wonderful experience. The ranch and the staff are really great.

It is a must stop attraction when you visit Oudtshoorn. The best activity for me was doing the crocodile cage dive, it is the best experience ever and you get really close and personal with the Nile Crocodiles. A big thank you to Suanne who assisted us with the croc cage dive, she was very informative and kept us safe while we were inside the cage with the crocs. She did an excellent job and also thanks to the photographer Ockert.

Visiting this park is by guided tour only which is fine. There are plenty of animals to see although viewing of the big cats can be slightly restricted if they are near the walkway. Leo was our guide and he was very knowledgeable. He gave us enough time to take photographs. We were the last tour of the day so it was a small group. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

We had an amazing last minute experience here with the cheetahs because we had some time to spare before going to our next stay. It´s not like your usual zoo because of the tour and all the information you get. Petting of the cheetahs was fantastic! Would recomment!

Wow! Never dreamed that i'd get to pet cheetahs in my lifetime. I know some will say that’s not right to keep animals like this, and that they should be out in the wild where they belong, but the way the world’s going, the habitats for these (and many other) incredible animals, especially the big cats, are disappearing rapidly. Hopefully not, but these types of sanctuaries may soon be the only places to see animals like this at all. The ranch is obviously very concerned with animal welfare, and this is evidenced in how happy, healthy, and safe all their animals were. Anyway, it was an incredible experience, and made me look into additional ways i can help to preserve and safeguard these beautiful cats for future generations. The staff were very good – knowledgeable, safety-conscious, and obviously loved the animals and their jobs! The tour of the other paddocks was very good too: the african crocodiles, the (almost extinct) pygmy hippo, the albino porcupine, the vultures . . . very enjoyable day, and so glad we added this stop to our route!

We visited on impulse and were just in time to join a walking tour. Our guide, Darren, was great - he was knowledgeable and interesting, and kept us entertained while giving us relevant information about the animals we were looking at. We both thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend it. They are doing a wonderful job of conservation with no funding other than what is earned through visitors and donations.

Our international guests really enjoyed their experience at Cango Wildfire. A big 🤝 to all the conservation efforts at this site. We always include a visit to this sanctuary when touring the Garden Route. Virgil was a very engaging guide as well. Full of humour too. One can tell that he loves his job.

Rated 4 stars **** for zoological eccentricity! We were casually admiring the flamboyance of flamingos for their beauty when the wading bird handler asked us if we wanted a souvenir feather from the Phoenicopteridae family. Without waiting for our answer he plunged into the holding, wading into the flamingos and scattering them out of the water in all directions, leaving a handful of feathers on the ground, one of which he proudly presented to us as our memento of Oudtshoorn. Wow!
