Wild Connection

Cheetahs are heading towards extinction at an alarming rate. Over the last century, their population has decreased from 100,000 to less than 8,000.

Nick Kleer, a South African and wildlife enthusiast, left his corporate job in the city to find new meaning. Soon after, he visited Tiger Canyon Private Game Reserve where he witnessed the start of the cheetah project. Cheetahs that were once captive were being introduced to the wild in Africa.

He quickly fell in love with the cheetahs and developed strong, personal bonds with them. Nick jumped into the world of wildlife guiding and animal conservation all over the world where he serves as an ambassador for the animals he has grown to love, along with his (now) wife, Kristina, who also left her home to pursue conservation in South Africa.
