Lucky finally has received a new camp!! She used to always be living in a small camp next to Rudie and Marlice's house, where she would be sharing with her cubs, Ayla and Tearmark. In the adjacent camp were two other cheetah cubes, Tessa and Tosca.
With the beautiful support of our volunteers, we were able to construct a completely new camp just down the road, which is much bigger and nicer than the one they had before!
In early December we were finally able to release all five cheetahs into the new camp! It was quite a large process to get all five cheetahs into capture cages and then release them into the new camp, even if it is just down the road!

We were all quite worried at the beginning about how the five cheetahs would get along, especially Lucky with Tessa and Tosca. Luckily though, they seem to have got to know each other through the fence during the time they were in adjacent camps, and get along just fine.
They love their new camp and finally have the space these beautiful animals deserve! Thank you to everybody that contributed!
