Cheetah can go from zero to 45 miles an hour in just two and a half seconds. The bad news: They've gone from a healthy worldwide population of 100,000 to as few as 7,500 in a little over a century. One of the few places where Cheetah can be seen is Naankuse Wildlife Sanctuary . Between a quarter and a third of those cheetahs live here in Namibia, more than in any other country. Namibia is a leader in preserving the future of this fast feline. The city of Otjiwarongo, Namibia, is home to the world's only center for cheetah genetics, where the first cheetah conceived through in-vitro fertilization was born in 2007. Hopefully with some help, these record-setting cats are on the fast track to recovery.

This is the most beautiful place on earth. Imagine taking your breakfast on the terrace surrounded by giraffes, zebras, Antilopes, springboks, ostriches, and kudus. Yes, it is possible. Coming 20 m from the terrace... Whether you go to Naankuse Windhoek, Neuras, Timbila, or Kanaan, you will experience that feeling only Africa can give you. It just goes under your skin, that peaceful and powerful feeling...the lodges and accommodations are perfect, the staff is very professional and any activities you do perfectly arranged from sunrise, sunset, game drives, etc. Also, the schools and research centres are very interesting to visit. The anti poaching and K9 brigades are super impressive. All are worth a visit . A place you will never forget!

Absolutely brilliant. Attended a conservation medicine course here. Sensational set up, knowledgeable staff and moreover, extremely friendly. Would thoroughly recommend it as a volunteering place or as a location to see the Namibian wild.

We had a wonderful experience during our half day trip to the sanctuary for the "Roots of Na'an ku se Tour" (formerly called the "Carnivore Feeding Tour"). Our guide, Jensen, was very knowledgeable about the animals and was able to answer all our questions. We saw wild dogs, baboons, caracal, cheetahs, and leopards. We unfortunately didn't get to see the lions since they were doing a health check on them, but it was still a great and informative tour. It's nice knowing that injured or semi-domesticated animals have a place to live out a peaceful life if they can't be released back into the wild. Each enclosure we saw has multiple hectares of space for the animals to roam freely.

Fascinating adventure in my life. Definitely a destination to review yourself and find the true you with all types of wild lives around.
