After an early morning wake up call for your dawn game viewing drive in open 4x4 vehicles, return to the lodge for breakfast before continuing on your tour. Visit the Hoedspruit Cheetah Research project for a guided tour. Established in 1988, the Centre is the brainchild of Lente Roode, the wife of successful businessman Johann Roode. It was initially established as a breeding programme for the then endangered cheetah, but following the enormous success of the cheetah breeding programme, has evolved into a legitimate breeding programme for other endangered African animal species. The ultimate objective of the Centre is to return endangered African species to the wild once their numbers have increased to such an extent that they can be released. Needless to say, this is a long-term objective that requires substantial commitment, both human and financial.
