PLEASE NOTE:

Whilst our encounters program allows you to have a ‘once in a lifetime’… face-to-face experience with a selection of incredible animals - where you can touch a Cheetah, enjoy the playful nature of a Tiger cub, wrap yourself in a giant Python, cover yourself in Lorikeets and even dive with our Nile Crocodiles, these natural encounters are at an additional cost to your entrance ticket and age restrictions may apply. (Rates & age limits appear elsewhere on this website).

 At Cango Wildlife Ranch, we believe that the experience of a natural encounter between you, our visitor, and the Ranches ambassador species, assists us in creating public awareness for the plight of these magnificent animals in their natural environments. All encounters are controlled to ensure your safety, and to guarantee that the well-being and welfare of all our animals remains our priority.

PLEASE NOTE: OUR CROC-CAGE DIVING WILL BE CLOSED DURING THE WINTER MONTHS, FROM 1 JUNE TO 31 AUGUST DUE TO THE CROCODILES BEING INACTIVE (RESTING PERIOD). ALL OTHER ENCOUNTERS WILL BE RUNNING.
