Day Trips and Lodging at Cheetah Conservation Fund
– General Manager of Cheetah Conservation Fund and BushBlok – I have lived and worked in Namibia since 2000, and I have had the privilege of being a part of every Cheetah Conservation Fund project. I can attest to the positive impact we are making on both the cheetah and the people who share its landscape.
– Founder and Executive Director Cheetah Conservation Fund – CCF is a unique place that visitors may come to learn about the cheetah and experience its magnificence and grace. This is a world class research facility doing groundbreaking research in the biology, ecology and genetics of the cheetah and it’s open to the public 364 days per year.
We stayed for 3 days at Babson House and it was an outstanding experience for us. We cannot comment on the day visit facilities but the full board with driver and chef at Babson House was perfect…
The staff was very knowledgeable. We were suprised how much Cheetahs sound like house cats (meowing and purring)
We did the CCF Cheetah Exclusive Experience and it was the highlight of our 5 wk trip to South Africa and Namibia….
“We stayed at The Babson House – A beautiful new house built by a couple (the Babsons) and donated as a gift to the CCF. It is simply gorgeous, a glamorous out-of-Africa feeling with all the comforts of home.”
If you love cats you will love this place. It was humbling to watch the cheetah being fed. They are amazing. The game drive was also amazing. This was a must! The volunteers were incredibly knowledgeable. Good work guys!
We just visited the Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF) near Otjiwarongo and had a very good experience that is well worth recommending to fellow travellers and a repeat visit in the future…
After touring South Africa and Namibia the Cheetah was the only one of the Big Five we hadn’t seen, as we were passing so close to the conservation we just had to go…
We stayed at their Lodge Babson House it was the height of opulence and luxury, rather over the top, with only 2 rooms and large ensuite bathrooms…
We researched this venue as a side-trip between Etosha and the coast. Absolutely fantastic! It’s possible to stay here on an overnight visit but we simply turned up for a ninety minute morning tour. It was brilliant…
…The way the cheetahs are exercised is worth the trip alone! In a large open space, a rag is attached to a long wire that moves the rag up to 45 mph…
We booked the Babson House for two nights and with it an amazing experience: feeding the cheetahs, meeting the Ambassadors (you have to find out yourself what I mean with it)…
Knowing that it was highly unlikely, if not impossible, to see these cats in the wild, thought it a good idea it get up close and personal at the Cheetah Conservation project…
