Cheetah Park

Today we left Etosha and were treated with a Black Rhino on the way out (plus a nice herd of Zebs). We stopped in a small town outside of the park and found a place that does superb Cappuccinos and real Cheesecake! The closer we get to South Africa, the more "civilized" the towns get.

We arrived at the Cheetah Park campground in the early afternoon. We were able to interact with four of the tame Cheetahs that the farm owners have rescued and raised. We also got to go into their private reserve this afternoon where about 10 wild Cheetahs live. They feed them in the afternoon every day and it's interesting to see them jostling for position and leaping in to the air to snag a 5 lb. chunk of meat. The the successful Cheetah dashes off at full speed with its prize.
