Such an amazing experience. The director Ben, clearly shows his passion and knowledge throughout the tour. Having the experience guided by himself with just myself and my partner as we travelled around the site made it feel incredibly personal and special, allowing us to move at a relaxed pace and be up close with the wild cats.
The conservation work they do is truly incredible, and Iām so glad to know that the tour(s) directly supports the important work they do. It is absolutely worth it and something I would highly recommend.

Wow, what an experience! Getting so close to a Cheetah was one of the best experiences of my life. Love that the tour was only us, made it a lot more enjoyable.
The animals are all well taken care of and the grounds are excellent.
Loved it so much, we'll definitely be back

This experience is both unique and highly recommended. Kahlia and Ben provided extensive knowledge and addressed all our inquiries as we toured the savanna with Crunchy the Serval, and interacted with the Caracals, Cheetahs, Fishing Cat, among others. Mirri, the baby Clouded Leopard, was particularly striking. As the sun set, we enjoyed light refreshments on the deck while observing the adult Clouded Leopards become active for the evening. This exclusive and personal experience comes highly recommended.

We were greeted at the gate by our guide, walked through, sat down, and had a brief talk about what they do at the W.c.c.c, what to expect, and who we will see.
We went on the ultimate wild cat experience, on our savanna walk we got to meet and get close to crunchie the servel and see how he behaves in his natural environment.
Our guide then took us through to visit the other cats and see the turtles and alligator they have.
Learnt alot on the day from our guide and had really enjoyable experience.
W.c.c.c are doing some really great things
I highly recommend visiting this place, guaranteed an awesome day and your visit will help support them to continue doing what they do.

We adored this place.
The gorgeous big cats are being looked after in a beautiful way, in an environment that simulates their natural habitat better than any regular zoo would be able to accommodate.
You can tell how much the people here care deeply for the animals, and were also super friendly and attentive to us as human guests.
The twilight tour was totally worth it, we would go again!
