An exciting aspect of staying at Samara is tracking wild cheetahs on foot. For years, the reserve has offered wild cheetah viewing that has been unsurpassed.

Additionally, these collars make it easier to track them, which is essential because of the terrain they inhabit – whether hunting in thickets or lying unseen in the tall grass.
