The Ranch is located in Oudtshoorn, click here for more info on the town.The Cango Wildlife Ranch is located on the edge of Oudtshoorn (South Africa) alongside the road leading to the Cango Caves. Visitors interact with a tame cheetah at the Cango Wildlife Ranch.The place is very commercial and we cringe at the idea of "wild" animals kept in cages or smallish camps. We believe you'll do much better heading for the Kruger National Park or a similar game reserve where you can view the big five and other African wildlife free to roam about in their natural surroundings within large and healthy ecosystems.

However, most tourists enjoy a visit to the Ranch thoroughly. It also has the advantage that you are guaranteed to see crocodile and cat species, A young leopard at the Cango Wildlife Ranch just outside Oudtshoorn.while in a game reserve luck will always play a role.

The Ranch features crocodiles, snakes, cheetah, tiger (exotic), leopard and lion - amongst others.

On a guided tour you may enter the small camp of tame cheetahs with the guide to have a photograph snapped of yourself with these gracious cats (at small fee in support of cheetah conservation). The information provided on the guided tour is interesting and deals with the crocodiles and cat species, not the snakes. The Ranch also features a curio shop and restaurant.
