Welcome
to the Cango Wildlife Ranch and Valley of Ancients,
endangered species breeding facility extraordinaire.
The oldest and biggest cheetah contact centre worldwide
offers visitors the rare opportunity of interacting
with our hand reared cheetahs and getting actively
involved in saving this species and others from
extinction.
We
invite you and the whole family to pay us a visit
and explore the facts and fiction surrounding crocodiles,
view elegant cheetahs and giggle at the antics of
our Bengal tiger cubs. For the adventurous we offer
face to face encounters with wildlife in our Natural
Encounters programe where you can touch a cheetah,
enjoy the closeness of a tiger cub, wrap yourself
in a python and even dive with Nile crocodiles.
Without
you, the visitor, facilities like the Cango Wildlife
Ranch would not be possible and without facilities
like ours, wildlife will become yet another issue
we wished we had paid more attention to when it
was still possible.
Run
the race against extinction with us whilst having
the time of you life – Welcome to Cango Wildlife
Ranch the conservation heart of the Little Karoo!
Guided tours at the Ranch now commence at the entrance
of the impressive Zimbakwe Temple Ruins from where
you will journey into a thrilling tropical exhibit.
Your first view being that of an under water viewing
tank filled with rainbow colored cichlids, baby
crocodiles and peculiar terrapins. The tank’s
theming takes the shape of a giant sacrificial pool
where the ancients performed human sacrifices to
their River god. The tropical house will allow you
to walk freely amongst animals such as shy duiker,
giant flying foxes and birds of paradise.
A raised wooden walkway will tempt you to move onto
the Malawian forest exhibit with its beautifully
colored Red river hogs and giant Nile monitors after
which you can view Cape griffon vultures nesting
against a cliff face in their brand new home accompanied

Cheetahland
will round off your tour where you can meander along
a raised wooden walkway and have a birds eye view
of cheetah, white lion cubs, jaguar, fully grown
lions and experience the only Tiger presentation
in Africa with our magnificent white tigers.
Due to a huge demand for a family friendly facility,
the Cango Wildlife Ranch took the giant step in
ensuring our facility is the most child-friendly
attraction along the entire Garden Route with the
designing and construction of a children’s
water and play park.
A splash park with water jets and jumping jewels
was created and supplied for the first time in Africa
by a manufacturer in the United States, making this
the only one of its kind in South Africa. Along
with the splash park the kidszone has two giant
6m high fun fortresses, with rope ladders, a climbing
wall and a 6 meter slide, a jumping castle, roundabouts
and water canons, completing the experience for
the older kids. Additionally a specially designed
and imported Tiny Tots area was developed for the
little ones with your toddler’s safety in
mind. Combine all of this with phenomenal family
fun as well as a petting zoo where both young and
old can meet their favorite farmyard animal and
you have a play park as unique as the Ranch itself.
