Five Shy are based on one of the most beautiful cattle and alfalfa (lusern) farms in Oudtshoorn, home of, the original meerkat conservation site.
Come join in and take the educational tour with me and the meerkats. They are incredibly adorable and
All Information and photos on this site are from my own(me JD)research and are based on findings and information from seven or eight groups of meerkats that I have worked with around Oudtshoorn in the Little Karoo (South Africa).
You must understand that I have only been researching meerkats since late 2008 when I noticed that the meerkats that I was observing every day we're living in an unnatural meerkat habitat.
See you soon.

We had our meerkat tour at the end of July. It was a very cold but sunny morning. We were very happy to have some warm tea and blankets. I lost the name of our guide but let's just say that we loved his sense of humor and the way he explained and shared all his knowledge about these funny creatures! Our family laughed so much during this tour and are still talking about the whole experience. It was very interesting and the most detailed info I ever had on one animal. And then to realize that they are very cute the way they wake up but that they are useless. (Still, very cute though!) We admire the guides who are doing this every single day. Their patience with observing the meerkats but also with the tourists who join in the tour is phenomenal! We would definitely recommend this tour for everybody. Especially families!

The whole experience was fantastic and exciting. Perfect organization. The guides were very helpful and provided us with a lot of information about meerkats and their lives.

We had a fantastic Meerkat experience and saw the family of 7 on our morning. The first meerkat popped up and was about 2 metres from where we were sat which delighted my son. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable and professional, and allowed us to take as many pictures and videos as we wished. There were 9 people in our group to see the meerkats. 10/10 from all of us ?. Thank you!

Absolutely amazing, I actually cried! To watch Meerkats that close up in the wild where they belong, was just awesome. The guide we had was phenomenal, the detail he knew about the Meerkats and in particular this group was fantastic. I felt like I'd be dropped into the middle of a nature documentary!
