The Wild Animal Park has unleashed a new program unlike any other. Witness the world’s fastest land mammal do what it does best—run! Cheetah Run Safari takes small groups of spectators to a beautiful, rustic camp at the Wild Animal Park called Cheetah Outpost. From here you'll prepare to feel the wind whoosh by as the sleek African cat bolts past, mere feet away, after a mechanical lure.

The unique opportunity to witness a cheetah sprinting is available on weekends by reservations only to a limited number of guests. In addition to seeing the fastest land mammal running, the 1.5-hour experience includes up-close encounters with other African wildlife, light refreshments, and a 5x7 photo of our cheetah.
