Nearest airport
Hosea Kutako International Airport (WDH), about 337 km south of CCF; private transfers or rental vehicles are normally required
Nearest town: Otjiwarongo, about 40 minutes from CCF by road; the town provides the nearest major services and access route
Published 2026 rates list the CCF Tour at N$290 per adult, while the Cheetah Drive and Cheetah Run cost N$800 each. Children under 12 receive 50% off activities, and full safari packages cost more because they add accommodation, transport, meals, and other Namibia destinations.
May through October is the best time to visit Cheetah Conservation Fund because central Namibia is cooler and drier, with easier road conditions. November through April is hotter and wetter, but it usually has fewer visitors and greener vegetation; CCF does not have a major migration season.
Cheetah Conservation Fund focuses on cheetahs, including releasable and non-releasable animals managed for conservation and education. Visitors also see Anatolian Shepherd dogs, goats, and honeybees connected with CCF’s farmer-support and livelihood projects; CCF is not a Big Five game reserve.
Cheetah Conservation Fund is about 337 kilometres north of Hosea Kutako International Airport near Windhoek. Travelers can drive or arrange a guided transfer to Otjiwarongo, followed by roughly 40 minutes on an unpaved road to the centre; a rental vehicle or local guide is needed for the final approach.
Cheetah Conservation Fund is suitable for families because the guided tour explains cheetah conservation, farming, dogs, and community projects. Children under 12 receive 50% off activities in the published rate table, while the Cheetah Run is restricted to visitors aged 16 and older; families must follow strict no-contact wildlife rules.
Most travelers need one full day for the main CCF Tour and an additional activity such as the Cheetah Drive. A three-day stay works well for combining CCF with the Waterberg area and nearby Namibia safari routes without rushing the conservation visits.
Travelers can stay at Cheetah View Eco Lodge at the CCF property or use accommodation near Otjiwarongo. Cheetah View is the most convenient choice for early activities and multi-day conservation visits, while Otjiwarongo offers broader town services and additional lodging options.
Cheetah Conservation Fund is worth visiting for travelers who want an informed, conservation-led cheetah experience rather than a conventional Big Five game drive. Its 1990-founded nonprofit model links research, farmer outreach, livestock-guarding dogs, education, and responsible wildlife viewing.
A guide is required for the centre’s scheduled activities, including the CCF Tour and specialist cheetah experiences. You can self-drive to the property if road conditions and navigation suit you, but a guided transfer is useful because the final approach is an unpaved road and staff provide the required wildlife briefings.
