My Rating: 10
The ranch has some 40 species of animal and relies largely on public donations to support their conservation efforts - entry fees are reasonable and the proximity to masses of crocodiles basking in the sun or opportunity to stroke a live cheetah are not everyday experiences to be found easily elsewhere. Besides the numerous attractions and thrill of petting live cheetahs (like stroking an enormous, dangerous kitten), there is a variety of curios and interesting bric-a-brac to charm souvenir seekers and a delightful restaurant with extensive menu. I rate the Cango Wildlife Ranch as the highlight of my visit to the region, not purely for the enjoyment of the good facilities but also for the feel-good-factor of having been able to contribute to such a worthwile cause as preserving our wildlife at "the oldest and biggest cheetah contact centre worldwide". Certainly not an experience to be missed!
