VIP Experience

Oudtshoorn

Activity Description

You will be met by your own personal guide who will take you on a private tour of the facility, whichever option you choose. Thereafter you will be taken to do the natural encounters of your choice. What makes these natural encounters special is that you’ll get to spend more time with the animal than usual.
What makes the VIP tours so special is that you get to see what we (and the animals) get up to behind the scenes! It is an opportunity not to be missed and for most a lifechanging eye-opener of why we do what we do here at Cango Wildlife Ranch…

Cango Wildlife Ranch has over 90 species of animals and is open 365 days of the year! The well-being and welfare of all our animals is paramount in the promotion of our conservation ethic to you, our valued guest. To achieve these aims we promote the concept of Natural Encounters between you and a number of select ambassador species.

We trust that any Natural Encounter, will offer you a ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ sheer thrill, and will create everlasting memories. The contented purr and amber stare of our cheetah or a blood-pumping cage-dive with a mighty 4-meter Nile crocodile.

We hope that encounters with these magnificent creatures will encourage compassion and support in the plight that these species face on our fragile planet.

Customer Reviews

My friends and I booked VIP #1 during September 2024 and we have no regrets going for it! We were warmly welcome by all the staffs, they first gave us a detailed walk through all the different enclosures to better understand all of the animals which were taken under their care. We arrived at 830am and was expected to finish the entire tour + 3 selected interaction by around 12pm, however it rain unexpectedly and we have to wait out until the rain was over before we could continue with our tour. The staffs were very warm and helpful, we had to stop our lemur interaction midway due to the rain, but they allowed us to come back again after the rain stops. We are extremely glad to know that our donations will greatly contribute and help all the animals under their care and shelter, will definitely be back again in future! Thank you so much for the wonderful experience Cango Wildlife Ranch! Regards, Zy Singapore - Zy


We had an amazing visit to Cango Wildlife Ranch. We booked the VIP experience and we had the best time. We were shown round the ranch by our friendly informative guide and really enjoyed seeing and learning about so many well looked after animals. We were extremely pleased to hear about the conservation and welfare surrounding these animals. The highlight for us was going into the cheetah cubs enclosure and spending time with them. Absolutely wonderful. We then enjoyed lunch in the cafe. A truly enjoyable experience so pleased we booked this tour. - Lesley


We visited Cango Wildlife Ranch in July 2024 and were very pleased with our visit. Themba was a lovely and well informed host who took us through the premises and gave us a good overview of the animals and the conservation aims of the ranch. It was interesting to see the animal kitchen and meet the employees who were all outstandingly friendly and open to all our questions. We had booked some animal encounters and went on to meet a caracal, 2 cheetahs, 2 lemurs and a couple of snakes "in person". These animals were handled and introduced to us by two lovely and very knowledgeable ladies, who were very careful about the safety of both the animals and the humans. We learned a lot about the training, keeping and behaviour of the animals and were allowed to play with the caracal, pet the cheetahs and the lemurs and finally hold a boa constrictor. All of these are unforgettable experiences that will stay with us for the rest of our lifes! - Ulrike


Our VIP experience in Cango Wildlife Park was amazing from start to finish. The friendly staff made us feel very special as we made our way around to see the different animals and hear so many facts about them. Having someone taking photos for us also added to the experience as we could just enjoy and witness the animals with our own eyes and not through a screen! Going behind the scenes to see the food being prepared and getting an insight into just how much work goes into looking after the animals so well was really great to see. The animal encounters are something we will never forget especially getting to pet the cheetah cubs and having a lemur sit on my lap! My husband loves big cats and getting to feed the tiger and lion was a real highlight for him. The USB we received at the end of the day had all the photos from our VIP tour as well as photos from our animal encounters which was amazing. We really enjoyed the whole experience and would highly recommend anyone to do it too. We would choose to do the VIP experience again in a heartbeat! Thank you to all the staff for making it such an unforgettable experience! - Sarah


An amazing experience. To be able to look behind the scenes was one of the most interesting parts of the tour. All people are so nice and friendly. The pictures taken for us are absolutely perfect ant the animal encounters experience was the highlight of everything. Being able to stand or sit close to Lemurs or Cheetahs is indescribable. It sure is touristic but nevertheless an awesome experience - Daniel
