The cheetah were relocated to the arid Great Karoo region as part of a conservation project that ultimately seeks to increase the population numbers of cheetah in the wild, and the Karoo forms part of the cheetah’s historic range. Roam is the first place to have free-roaming cheetah in the region for over 150 years. The cheetah at Roam are fitted with GPS collars and are monitored using a combination of telemetry, and traditional track and sign methods developed by the Khoi and San bushmen, the original inhabitants of the area. The cheetah roam free in the wild, which means you will spend time tracking the cats with qualified guides before getting within close proximity to these wild animals.Bird ringing, or bird banding as it is known elsewhere, is the process where birds are captured in mist nets, fitted with an identification ring and released. The species, sex, age, weight and measurements of the bird are all recorded and sent to a central database (in South Africa SAFRing manages this database). Guests will learn about how to tag birds and the process behind bird-ringingRoam is home to a number of animals, and it is imperative to the sustainable management of the reserve that we accurately monitor the health of the entire system. This is achieved through monitoring of fauna and flora.

The game drives and food. Our hosts were excellent, very knowledgeable about the environment, animals, birds and flora. They are passionate about conservation. The accommodation and food were first class. Power outages had little impact on the visit as we were on drives when they occurred, plus they had backup generators. It was good to see a serious approach to conservation with returning meerkats to the wild and saving the cheetah.
