Hi Val

Wishing you lots of luck finding your dogs and cats..

Cheetahs are my fave too, in fact I have a special sighting coming up in the trip report.

Remember to watch out along the H1-1

All three from the same area

Any place left on the bus??? :pray:

Cheetah Outreach has moved to the Strand - and less than 4 kilometres from where I live - yet caged spotties just isn't the same to seeing them free - hope you have lots of spotty and painted sightings :thumbs_up:

Hallo Val,
Just to let you know that Mads and I will enter the KNP through Phalaborwa Gate on Friday morning (27 July 2012) specially to "scout" for Dogs and Cheetahs. Mads even bought a camera that gives GPS coordinates to enable us to tell you exactly where you must look in November. We will have a nice talk to them and tell them to be on the lookout for you and Richard :dance:
