Cheetahs, again!

And so, after 15 minutes or so of rattles and squeaks as the truck (not sure if I'd call it a bus) grinds its way over the parched earth we arrive at a long fence that borders a large cheetah enclosure. Generally animals are wild here, it's not a sanctuary or a wildlife park, but they do have two seven rescued cheetahs in a large enclosure. Before we even enter, the big cats begin to stroll up to the fence in anticipation. We drive through a double gate as the cheetahs gather round and then Doug accelerates suddenly and we all cling on to the metal frame of the truck as we judder along at 50-60kph, but prove a poor match for these majestic of all sprinters. They even have a go, waving their paws at us as we try to pull away. Soon the path runs out and we stop by a raised wooden platform.
