The cheetah and wildlife centre lies nestled in the foothills of the Magaliesberg mountains presenting the landscape of African savannah. Rare wild animals are part of this landscape.

De Wildt is renowned for its breeding success of rare endangered species, the very rare King Cheetah was first bred here and similar success was achieved in breeding the wild dog, brown hyena, blue duiker, suni antelope and various species of vultures and owls. Visitors to the centre can see these animals up close and learn interesting facts about their nature and habitat when taking an open vehicle tour of the establishment.
