As part of this WIld Cat Interaction, you will get to interact and come face to face with either the Caracal/ Serval or Cheetah - under the supervision of professional guides. You will get to touch them, observe them closely, see how they play and interact between themselves as well as have a chat with the handlers.

• Height Restriction: at least 1m45
• Age Restriction: 10 years and above
• Activity Times: 09h15 - 16h15 (activity not offered on Sundays)

About Caracals: The name Caracal is derived from the Turkish word “karakulak” meaning “black ear.” Being the largest member of Africa’s small cats, males can weigh up to 18 kg, and females as much as 16 kg. Often called the desert lynx, the Caracal differs from its lynx relatives by lacking the ruff of hair around its face. It has a short, dense coat that ranges from tawny-brown to brick-red, with some black individuals recorded.

About Servals: Native to Africa, the Serval is a medium-sized cat with incredibly long legs for its size. If you caught a quick glimpse of it, you’d mistake it for a small cheetah. Its huge ears and short tail, coupled with its spotted fur add to its unique look. Their bite is up to 3 times more forceful than an average housecat. These creatures are very shy, so count this as a very unique experience to get up close.

About Cheetahs: Cheetahs are a remarkable member of the cat family, known as the world's fastest land animal, capable of reaching speeds between 80–112 km/h (50–70 mph). Their lean bodies and long legs set them apart from other cats, allowing for such incredible speed. Unlike lions, cheetahs cannot roar, but they purr instead.
