Cheetah's Rock, Zanzibar Overview

Cheetah's Rock on Zanzibar's west coast is a rescue centre for animals like cheetahs, lions, leopards, zebras, and birds as well as otters. Take a guided tour to see the animals up close, learn their stories, and understand the Centre's conservation efforts. You can even interact with some animals under supervision.

The centre aims to provide a safe space for animals and raise awareness about wildlife conservation. You can choose the "Big Wildlife Tour" to meet a cheetah, feed zebras, create obstacle courses for monkeys, and observe hyenas, lemurs, and Suni antelopes. Alternatively, the "VIP Otter Experience" lets you swim and interact with otters for a unique and exciting encounter.
