Beppo, Zebra

Born in a zoo as a surplus animal, Beppo found himself moving between facilities without finding his forever home.

We answered the call to give him just that.
Now Beppo enjoys the company of fellow equines and guests alike, showing off his impressive intellect and gentle nature.

Maurice, Bushbaby

Maurice was dropped by his mother when he was still only a few days old. Our gardener found him and we have raised him into a strong boy by using a tiny syringe to feed him milk.

Now he lives with a group of bushbabies who love nothing more than climbing around on the shoulders of our guests.

Sahara, Lioness

Sahara started her journey as household pet in Europe. Needless to say, lions don’t like city life too much.

Enjoying her lush green enclosure, Sahara has matured into a strong and confident Lioness.

Rocky, Vervet monkey

Rocky is one of many rescued monkeys in our care at Cheetah’s Rock.
A lot of tourists encounter chained monkeys. Some even purchase them to keep as holiday pets.

After arriving here at Cheetah’s Rock, we discovered that Rocky suffers from epilepsy. Unfortunately, this means he cannot be released into his natural habitat, as he needs special attention and daily medication to ensure he has a safe and enjoyable life.

Gimmick, Striped Hyena

Meet Gimmick, our shy but inquisitive Striped Hyena. Rescued from a zoo where he was in poor living conditions, Gimmick quickly crawled into our hearts as his quirky personality grew with confidence in his new home.

Mike, Zanzibar Sykes Monkey

Although no longer in our care at Cheetah’s Rock, Mike is a manifestation of our mission at Cheetahs Rock to practice ethical conservation and when the need or opportunity arrises, to conduct a safe relocation or release of these animals into their natural habitat.

Chaka, Zebra

We face the sad obligation to inform you that we lost our beloved family member CHAKA, “the best zebra on earth”, despite the restless efforts of our team and outstanding wildlife veterinarians, tragically and unexpectedly, April14, 2024. He suffered from a colic caused by two intestinal rotations. His death has left us all heartbroken. One day we hope we will be united again. We will never forget the most beautiful moments shared with you, our CHAKA boy.
He was born in a zoo in Germany and when he was only 1 year old they wanted to kill him. This is the sad truth behind so many zoos around the world. Many animals are bred just so that we can see the cute babies. But babies grow bigger and there is often no more space for them.
Cheetah’s Rock got a call and we were asked if we wanted to save his life, which we did.
He was living with us and his horse friends for 15 healthy and happy years. He will be in our hearts forever.
