As part of Inverdoorn Private Game Reserve’s new cheetah rehabilitation process, our rehabilitated cheetahs have to ‘run for their supper’ by chasing a lure down a runway— reaching speeds of up to 120kmph. At the end point, they are rewarded with food. Overnight Safari Guests are invited to observe this incredible scene from an elevated vantage point during the morning game drive (Summer) or afternoon game drive (Winter).
