    They have shared an update about cheetah brothers Kumbe and Jabari who were released to the wild. Both are thriving as they adapt to their new home. They are such successful hunters they had to be caught up again to expand their radio collars they have put on so much weight and size which is fantastic.

    Parc Safari has a new fleet of electric bush trucks that they are using to conduct their tours with.

    They have announced cheetah female, Cleo has passed. She had 6 cubs while there with male Pendo, including 2 males Kumbe and Jabari who were released back into the wild. She battled diabetes late in life but after a decline they decided to put her down. Cleo was 11 years old.

    Parc Safari is looking for new zookeepers to add to the staff. Just a heads up for any of you looking for a position.

    Bit of an understatement :D There's that wooden balloons thing in the entrance, which has clearly been repurposed from other years, and a big banner, but that was all I saw. The huge gift shop had very few branded items to begin with, half of those said 40th on them, and there was nothing for 50th. I'll have photos up within the next few weeks.
