12 Cheetahs
“Personally, I look upon the cheetah as being a fine, bold, sporting type of animal, and although he may lack a good deal of interest which is lavished - for inadequate reasons, as I think - upon such better-known-forms as the lion and the leopard, I am far from sure that he is not infinitely worthier of it, and that if he were better known he would be much more highly esteemed.”
- Reginald Charles Fulke Maugham 1914, Zambezi Delta.
For future generations
Dick and Mary Cabela were blessed with a deep love for the outdoors and a deeper faith that gave their many outdoor adventures special meaning. They created the Cabela Family Foundation to ensure such blessings will be enjoyed for many generations.
The mission of the Cabela Family Foundation is to build and create partnerships and projects that promote outdoor recreation, conservation and charity toward others.
The Cabela Family Foundation supports projects and organizations throughout the world, including the Boy Scouts of America as well as Twenty Four Lions, a conservation effort to re-establish the lion population in Mozambique.
