Dear Cheetah Friends,
As the Founder and Executive Director of the Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF), the global leader in
conservation research of cheetahs, I would like to invite you to visit us in Namibia and learn about our
efforts to save the cheetah. For more than 25 years our unique conservation efforts have not only stabilized
and increased cheetah populations in Namibia, but have also greatly improved the livelihoods of local
communities.
Our newest contribution to Namibian conservation tourism is CCF’s Cheetah View Lodge, opened in June
2017 with five spacious guest suites and private dining area in the heart of CCF’s International Research
and Education Centre. Guests can now choose between the Cheetah View Lodge and our existing exclusive
luxury Babson Guesthouse to overnight in.
The Cheetah Conservation Fund is a one-of-a-kind destination for safari lovers and nature enthusiasts, and
is based on a 45,000ha private wildlife reserve within the Waterberg Conservancy. CCF is halfway between
Windhoek and Etosha National Park, at the foot of the impressive Waterberg Plateau. CCF’s open-to-the-
public International Research and Education Centre is a sanctuary for orphaned cheetahs and hosts
facilities such as the Cheetah Museum, the Life Technologies Conservation Genetics Laboratory, a
registered on-site Veterinary Clinic, and Model Farm with goats, sheep and Livestock Guarding Dogs, as
well as CCF’s Dancing Goat Creamery. Groups and individual travelers are welcomed for overnight and day
visits, giving them a chance to experience CCF’s various activities and to visit the Cheetah Café where
breakfast, lunch and homemade pastries and snacks are available.
We look forward to seeing you at the Cheetah Conservation Fund’s Babson Guesthouse or Cheetah View
Lodge in the future!
Sincerely,
Dr. Laurie Marker
Founder & Executive Director
Cheetah Conservation Fund
