Cheetah Park
From Etosha we headed to this place with the unpronounceable name to look at the cheetahs. It's a park where they rescue cheetahs that have been shot or injured. We met some of the tame ones, which were just like big cats, purring and rolling onto their ...

cheetahs
Had mijn speciale cheetahmoment al in nŽaankuse gehad , dus ik heb nu meer van een afstand fotoŽs genomen. Geweldige dieren blijven het. Vond het alleen te druk met 24 anderen. Ik vind echt dat dit in kleine groepjes moet gebeuren. Dat is niet alleen ...
