What an awesome experience! From the staff who greeted and briefed us and ever so patiently demonstrated their great knowledge in answering our many questions to the patience of the cheetahs themselves who coped with these strangers stroking them. To be so close to and able to touch these animals was amazing. This experience was a birthday gift and it was made even more special to think that the $s spent goes towards working to save these animals from extinction.

My husband really enjoyed his encounter with Cheetah. He got to pat him. He said that it was one of the most special experiences he ever has had and that he will never forget Solo! (The Cheetah)

At National Zoo & Aquarium Canberra — Yesterday, we had the extraordinary opportunity to meet a magnificent cheetah at the local zoo, and the experience left us in awe. From the moment we laid eyes on this sleek and graceful creature, our heart raced with anticipation. As we approached the cheetah's enclosure, our excitement mingled with a hint of nervousness. Its striking spotted coat shimmered in the sunlight, and its amber eyes seemed to hold a mixture of curiosity and power. We couldn't help but feel a deep respect for this apex predator, known for its astonishing speed and agility. The zookeeper, who stood nearby, shared fascinating insights about cheetah behavior, conservation efforts, and the importance of protecting their natural habitat. We learned about the challenges these majestic creatures face in the wild and the critical role zoos play in their preservation. During our encounter, the cheetah occasionally rose, pacing with an elegant gait, as if reminding me of its wild nature. Its movements were so fluid, so mesmerizing, that we found ourselves captivated by every step it took. It was a humbling reminder of the immense beauty and grace that exists in the animal kingdom. Leaving the cheetah enclosure, we carried with us a newfound appreciation for these incredible creatures and a renewed commitment to supporting conservation efforts. The encounter had left an indelible mark on our heart, reminding me of the delicate balance of nature and the responsibility we have to safeguard it. Meeting a cheetah at the zoo yesterday was an experience we will treasure forever. It was a profound reminder of the wonders of the animal kingdom and the power of education and conservation in ensuring a future where these magnificent creatures continue to roam free
