NATURAL ENCOUNTERS

Open the door to your heart and we will open the windows to your soul.

At the Cango Wildlife Ranch the well-being and welfare of all our animals is paramount in the promotion of our conservation ethic to you, our valued guest.

To achieve these aims we promote the concept of Natural Encounters between you and a number of select ambassador species.

We trust that any Natural Encounter will offer you a once-in-a-lifetime sheer thrill. The trust and playfulness of our rare white tigers; the contented purr and amber stare of our cheetah or the heart-stopping stuff that is your cage-dive with a mighty 4 metre Nile crocodile.

We hope that your encounters with these magnificent creatures will encourage you to care more for thei survival on our fragile planet.

All contributions from Natural Encounters go towards the vital funding of our conservation and captive breeding programs. If you would like to become more involved in helping us to help them, we invite you to join our Cheetah Conservation Foundation (CCF) – a non-profit organisation which channels all contributions to the conservation and breeding programs both in the wild as well as here at the Cango Wildlife Ranch.

For more information on CCF, please visit our CCF page.

WET YOUR PANTS!
Our Natural Encounters programme along with our new Experience Department offer visitors both young and old the chance of interacting with our ambassadors in the following encounters:

Cheetah Encounter
Available to visitors 16 years and older only.

Tiger Encounter
Available to visitors 16 years and older only. Interaction with tiger cubs only.

Cub Encounter
From time to time we do have young tiger and cheetah cubs resident at the Ranch and allow children 10 years and older to interact with these young cubs (accompanied by a paying parent).  Please note:  once the cheetah and tiger cubs reach a certain age, we do not allow children under the age of 16 to interact with these older cubs anymore due to safety concerns.

Reptile Encounter
Available to visitors 2 years and older only.

Croc Cage diving Encounter
Availble to visitors 12 years and older. Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult during the dive.

Lorikeet Encounter
This exciting encounter offers visitors the optional extra of hand-feeding these colourful birds with nectar. (No age restriction applies)

Wallaby Encounter
Another optional extra where visitors of all ages can feed our wallabies and purchase a photo of their encounter.

To ensure your special moment is never lost, our Experience Department will capture this moment on camera and present you with a beautiful photo folder afterwards (photo folder included in the price.)

Please note:
*Natural Encounters is an optional extra and not included in the Entrance fee.
