Our breakfast veranda at the guesthouse, tucked way up the hill a long, bumpy dirt road jaunt away from the highway.
What an awesome climbing tree, though we didn't do that. Check out that serious fence in the background; not sure exactly what it's keeping out.
That's a boerboel, which is a South African mastiff used primarily as a guard dog. You would not want to tangle with this guy, it wouldn't turn out well for…
Some of the nicely tended, peaceful grounds.
Peek-a-boo view into the valley below.
Zoe looking at the flowers just outside our room.
Yummy breakfast. Our travel doc told us not to eat any fruit or drink anything other than bottled water, lest we risk less than entertaining trips to bathroom.…
In the morning, we headed over to the Cheetah Centre (let's do the British thing). First thing up was the running of a couple cheetahs as they went after lures…
And it's off. Only doing a lazy jog at this point, though still far faster than we could run.
Cranking up the speed for real now.
Here's the reward for catching the lure.
Time for this cheetah to head back.
Listening to the guides as they tell us a little bit about the cheetahs.
Next we hopped into some open air bus things and entered where it says "No Entry". Hmm....
At first we were underwhelmed because the animals (cheetahs, vultures, honey badgers, caracals, hyenas, and African wild cats and dogs) were all behind fences. …
A random shot of the greenery. Notice the cactus-like trees to the right. They were bizarre looking.
We're finally into an area without fencing. Here's our first meeting with an ostrich.
A female and a male ostrich. I'll leave it to you to figure out which is which.
