Cheetah Tracking at Samara

Track the fastest land animal on foot in one of the most beautiful locations

Samara Private Game Reserve , South Africa

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. Radio collars help monitor and understand the demographics and conservation status of the cheetahs in Samara. 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. In some cases, your guide will also teach you how to track the old-fashioned way – looking for tracks, scrape marks, and dung that will give you clues to a cheetah’s presence.

One should do this:

because tracking cheetahs in the Karoo is a thrilling experience that you will never forget. Unlike other activities, it is completely unique and offered by very few reserves.
