- Which parks and reserves are best for the Cheetah in South Africa?
- Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Cheetah at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Phinda Private Game Reserve, Sabi Sand Game Reserve, Amakhala Game Reserve and Gondwana Game Reserve and other reserves.
