A week has passed since our amazing cheetah female called “Rhulani” has left its protective boma. We have recorded a few moments of the process. But more importantly, Rhulani has made her first kill!

After 176 days in a protective Boma, the gate was opened for the female cheetah. Now she is free and will spend her life in the 75,000 hectares that is Madikwe Game Reserve. The exhilarating project moves into its next phase.

It has been exactly one month since the collaring of the two cheetah females and the unfortunate death of one of the two animals one day later. A medical post mortem report gives us some insight into the circumstances.

After the loss of one of the two female cheetahs we were in a sad way reminded of how difficult this project is, was and will be at all stages. A reflection on the challenges around these beautiful, but seriously endangered big cats.

At the end of January the two female cheetahs of Madikwe received their collars. Rhulani, as a major sponsor, was present.

Learn more in today’s episode about the ambitious cheetah project, which is supported by Rhulani. Today, the two cheetah females get a satellite collar.

In little more than a week, the first step for the release of two cheetah females in Madikwe will take place. The big cats will receive a satellite-collar. Are you interested in joining?

In this 1st quarter of 2015, we’ll be expecting the release of the two female cheetahs. The question is, how will this happen?

45 days have passed since our two young, beautiful, female cheetahs have made the move to Madikwe. A status update on this exciting project.
