The area around Amani Lodge.
Only 20 km from Windhoek
Yesterday, we visited Amani Lodge - a private game lodge where cheetahs have been rehabilitated from small and then hopefully released into the wild. Five cheetahs are being trained to hunt and kill as a pack. The keepers are feeding them small meals which have to be shared. There is also a leopard which was raised from kitten and when he got too big, the owners discarded him, and a lion and lioness ( kalahari) which we also got to look at in this very large area, Great fun and lots of photographs!!

Cheetah coming down the hill
We were in a small kraal surrounded by a small fence about a metre high. A little apprehensive as the cheetahs charged down the hill.
The Keeper
Look at his face and see around his eyes is evidence of cheetah attack.. Lucky to be around!!
Leopard
picking his way down the rocks

climbed up the tree looking for his rations.
lioness
We were behind a large boardwalk but close enough to see all the action
Lion
At no time did he even hint that he could see us - oblivious!

Another holiday?!
Alright for some! I wish I was in Africa, it's September and it is mostly cold and damp but not quite cold and damp enough all the time (some days almost tropical) to light the Rayburn. So my joints are all aching and I feel my age first thing in the morning. You'd laugh if you saw me! I hope you are having a wonderful time, where next I wonder! love MB
