but we did see these two on our way out of the park, on the road from Olifants to Phalaborwa Gate.

Heksie, I've put you in the seat next to Cheetah........but feel free to move if he misbehaves!!! :tongue:

By the time we meet in November, I'm hoping I may have seen some spotties and doggies!! :thumbs_up:

As far as cheetahs go, there are a few resident near Mooiplaas, also on the T of Capricorn Loop and on the H9, so will hold thimbs for you!! (I haven't seen them yet of course, but hope to next visit. :pray:

Look forward to your kiekies!! :dance:

Dear Val and Dear Heksie, I bet you will both see Cheetah and Doggies during your next visit! I am so positively sure about this, I will bet my two front teeth! Can't wait for you two to get there in October and fulfil your wishes! :clap:
