Africa is like no other place on Earth when it comes to the variety and majesty of its wildlife. The big five—lions, leopards, buffalo, elephants, rhinos—famously call Africa home, but so too do other large animals including one of our guests’ favourites, the cheetah. It’s well-known that cheetahs are the world’s fastest land-based animal; they can reach top speeds of 75 mph during sprints, and it only takes them three seconds  to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph. But beyond their incredible speed, there is much to learn and love about cheetahs.
