Trip to the South & Feeding the Cheetah


Today we drove down to the south side of the property to do a mammalian survey. We saw lots of zebra, springbok, eland, gemsbok, red hartebeest, and a few impala, which aren’t even supposed to be on the property. We came back, had a little lunch, and waited until Faunie gave us a call, telling us that he is going to feed the cheetahs at the boma. Faunie is the land manager, and is the one who has been working the hardest on habituating the cheetah. After we saw the cheetah eat zebra meat, we went on a short night drive and we saw a waterbok, a very photogenic ground squirrel, and some guinea fowl. We are going to make a braai tonight, and go on a night drive later. Should be a good night to see some animals.
