Namibia - Bagatelle Game Farm

Desert view
On our last night before the 4WD camper was returned, we opted for the Bagaelle Game Farm on the edge of the red Kalahari Desert.

African wild cat
We arrived just in time to go on the organised game drive/cheetah feeding/sundowner combination. Most of the game drive was spent trying to locate giraffes by their droppings. You'd think that, with their long necks they'd be easy to find, but not so. We did see some wildlife we'd not seen in the wild before – a wild cat and a pied hornbill.

Cheetah waiting for his dinner
The cheetahs are rescued ones and in a compound but still have to be treated with caution.

At the sundowner gathering one of the staff (possibly the owners' son) demonstrated trust between him and his horse by getting the horse to lie down with him on top and then getting to its feet with rider in the saddle
