First litter of Cheetah cubs born at Qwabi Private Game Reserve

There have been some new additions to the wildlife family at Qwabi Private Game Reserve. After introducing cheetahs onto the property just 18 months ago, we are extremely proud to announce that QWABI Private Game Reserve has now welcomed its first litter of cheetah cubs.

Not only are these cubs adorable to watch, but this is an especially important moment for conservation within the UNESCO Waterberg Biosphere Reserve which QWABI Private Game Reserve is part of.

Cheetahs are classed as endangered according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) which has placed this species on its red list. The entire world’s population of cheetahs amounts to only 6500 animals which is extremely worrying as the animals are notoriously difficult breeders.

Newmark Hotels & Reserves invites you to stay at BABOHI or LETAMO Lodge at QWABI Private Game Reserve to experience the natural wonders and wildlife in this area.

Big 5, Big Changes, Little Cubs

Our youthful cheetah cubs have definitely brought a spark of joy to the Qwabi Private Game Reserve. It was around mid-2022 when cheetahs were first introduced to the reserve, and it is great to see our big cat population growing.

Baby cheetahs usually weigh between 150g to 400g and the feisty cubs on the reserve are already growing into healthy hunters. They recently hunted an impala with their mum which was killed on the game ranger’s stoep!

In addition to our captivating cheetahs, Qwabi Private Game Reserve is a Big 5 reserve. Visit the reserve and enjoy incredible sighting of cheetah as well as lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo.
