Karen H

We'll be visiting 18th April, it wouldn't be for a whole day as we have to move on around midday so maybe a morning.. are we likely to be ok to just turn up that morning and then decide if we want to add the cheetah and cheetah cub experience on at the time, or is it necessary to book ahead?

Good day Karen, thank you for you query. There is no need to book, you can just arrive on the day, alternatively you are very welcome to book online as well. We look forward to you visit.

Can a guest use their own camera to take pictures during the additional cost animal encounters or is the only choice for pictures to purchase pictures or the 4GB USB photos taken by Cango Wildlife Ranch?

How long of a time does someone have with the animals in the additional cost animal encounters?

Good day, It is anything from 7 - 13 minutes, depending on the animal and other factors. It might sound quick - but it is so special it feels like a lifetime. Kind Regards, Cango Wildlife Ranch
