During the visit, he was seen interacting closely with one of the tigers, Kunta, in a calm moment that quickly caught the attention of many Ghanaians online.
While speaking to the animal, Cheddar jokingly said:
“They haven’t been feeding you in a jovial manner.”
The businessman explained the purpose behind keeping the tigers, stressing that the project is not about luxury or showing off, but rather about building something meaningful for Ghana’s tourism space.

Cheddar starts wildlife project in Ghana
According to him, the tigers are strictly being kept for safari purposes and could become part of a bigger wildlife attraction in the country.
Speaking in an interview, he said:
“When people heard I have tigers, they thought that they could be dangerous to society. But if you see, they are calm, and they are even looking at us. Where they will sleep and eat is important, so we built here for them.”
Cheddar added that the animals are important to the long-term vision of the project, which he believes could help boost tourism in Ghana if expanded properly.
He also hinted that the initiative may not stop with just the tigers, as more animals could eventually be added to turn the facility into a much larger eco-tourism destination.

For Cheddar, the tigers are no longer just a talking point, but part of a bigger dream he hopes can transform into a major attraction that benefits the country.

Forestry Commission sues Nana Kwame Bediako
Previously, YEN.com.gh reported that Nana Kwame Bediako had been dragged before the Accra High Court by the Forestry Commission to forfeit ownership of his two white tigers.
The Wildlife Division’s ecotourism arm argued the animals were illegally imported in 2021 and, as endangered species not native to Ghana, should move elsewhere for their safety.
In court on February 19, lawyers said they were struggling to serve the suit on Cheddar, with the judge adjourning the case and explaining when substituted service can be considered.
