Two female cheetahs born at The Ann van Dyk Cheetah Centre have been released in conjunction with Ashia Cheetah Conservation , 1,500km from Ashia’s Center in Paarl to Purple Rain, a pre-release partner in the Limpopo region of South Africa.
The cheetah, originally from Ann van Dyk Cheetah Center, De Wildt, have spent the last 8 months at Ashia in preparation for their relocation and eventual release. They have been fed a diet of only game meat with introduced fasting days, and have increased their strength and fitness.
These two large females will now spend some time within a fenced section of Purple Rain, where they can catch prey and hone their hunting skills. We are pleased to say that the experienced monitoring team on the reserve have already observed the cheetahs first two kills – less than two weeks after arrival! A very positive start.We look forward to sharing their full journey later in the year, with their final release.
