After leaving our plush quarters of Swakopmund it was off to our first bush camp of the trip. It turned out to be beautiful and one of the better areas we have camped yet, well minus the lack of toilets and showers. :) The next day we took off for a day and night in the cheetah park, although it really is a reserve. The cheetah park is home to 3 tame cheetahs, or the house cats, which are for tourists i.e. education, while the reserve is home to another 15 or so wild cheetahs that were saved from being shot by angry farmers. I guess livestock here are easy prey for cheetahs.
Who knew that cheetahs would purr and lick a person much like a house cat! Can you guess which are the wild cheetahs? Yum donkey innards!
Me under The Natural Bridge of Namibia.
Our first bush camp of the trip and our first campground without a bar!
Can you guess which one is me? We hiked up a huge granite rock to watch the sunset. After wards it was the camp talent show! My fine yoga flexibility (along with a few inflexible and funny British lads trying to copy me) earned us a respectable third place.
Spitzkope - the Matterhorn of Africa and a huge rock climbing destination in Namibia.
it does look like the materhorn less the snow and little town of Zermatt at the base.
