activities - watch khula the cheetah run on the airstrip
Separator Line after H1

We often take Khula to the airstrip to stretch his legs, because as much as he enjoys hanging out with us he still has the need to run long distances. When we realised how enjoyable it was for him (and us!), we decided to make this exciting and unique experience available to the public.

We let Khula out of his enclosure at 4pm everyday. The eager cat then follows Christo's truck onto the airstrip, and that's when the fun begins. Khula is free to do as he pleases, so there's no telling what the fleet-footed feline will get up to.

Once Khula has finished running and harassing the Blue wildebeest and warthogs that frequent the area, guests are given the opportunity to interact with him and have their photo taken with him.

Important note

  • It is imperative that one books two days ahead of time, so that the curator can coordinate his feeding schedule accordingly.Khula doesn't run everyday, but on those days that he does he prefers to do so on an empty stomach. As is the case with most of us, once he's enjoyed a big meal all he wants to do is sleep it off. So on running days Khula gets a more substantial post-exercise meal to replenish his energy reserves.
