Cheetah’s Rock, Tanzania
Interact with a cheetah, watch the feeding of a white lion, and shake hands with ring-tailed lemurs at Cheetah’s Rock, an animal sanctuary on the east coast designed for close interaction with visitors. Run by a licensed animal trainer, this establishment keeps rescued or donated animals, making them available for a close-up view and personal interaction in many cases.
Highlights include rare striped hyenas, a football-playing zebra, and young cheetah brothers received from a CITES accredited conservation center. The place does not accept visitors under 15, and you are advised not to wear any overpowering perfume or aftershave that could irritate the animals. Reserve your place in advance due to the attraction’s popularity.
