 Cheetah population in South Africa today Protected areas: about 300 Captive-breeding facilities: about 500 Farming areas: about 600 Cheetah Distribution in South Africa Historically cheetah occurred through South Africa. Until recently cheetah only occurred in large protected areas such as the Kruger National Park and some adjacent private game reserves Currently cheetahs are been seen on farmland areas in the Limpopo Province, certain areas of the North West Province and in areas of the Northern Cape Province. It is thought that the growth in the game ranching industry is the main reason for this, as more habitat and more prey species become available due to the game ranching practices. Other large predators such as leopard, lion and spotted hyena are also not common any more, due to persecution by farmers. These large predators act as competitors to cheetah, and due to the eradication of these predators, cheetahs seem to be moving into areas where they have been previously exterminated by stock farmers. This is causing conflict between game farmers and cheetah as these cheetahs are preying on game species introduced by game farmers on these game farming areas.
