We now have supermodels amongst our resident cheetahs!


Aiko, Kiki and Aisha

Our gorgeous cheetahs Aiko, Kiki and Aisha have reached the heights of fashion and are currently staring in the May issue of Vogue UK alongside supermodel Agyness Deyn. The photographs are absolutely stunning and were all shot on location in the ghost town of Kolmanskop near Lüderitz in February.

Marlice and Cila were in charge of chaperoning our cheetah models and spent a week in the desert coaxing their best work out of them!

The May issue of Vogue is currently on sale so buy your copy now!

Lucky, Ayla and Tearmark

For some time now we have been raising funds to build Lucky a new camp, which she will share with Tearmark and Ayla until they are released. Over the last few months on the farm we have been doing some great fundraising social events, including one of our volunteers, Will, waxing off all his body hair and two of our female volunteers, Deb and Ginny shaving off their hair! Both evenings were fabulous fun with staff and volunteers taking it in turns to de-fuzz our willing volunteers! Over N$16,000 has been raised and we are now in a position to built Lucky the new camp she so desperately needs!

Cheetahs due for Release

We are continuing with our project to footprint all of our cheetahs who are due to be released. Spartacus, one of the wild male cheetahs, is the first cheetah due for release in about 6 weeks time so hopefully we should have been able to get all of the cheetahs footprinted by then so that Spartacus can be our test case!
