Before we had the accident with my car Linda and I did a fair bit of travelling in Southern Africa. In 2 months we did Pretoria (South Africa) to Cape town (South Africa). 1500 kilometres. Cape Town to Okahandja (Namibia) 2000km to help out at CCF (The Cheetah Conservation Fund) for a month. The CCF is founded by Dr Laurie Marker, an amazing woman who's life is dedicated to saving cheetahs. Cheetahs are disappearing quickly and Namibia has the largest cheetah population in the world. But there are always problems somewhere, this is where CCF comes in. helping injured cheetahs, relocating them when healed. Educating farmers and local people on the habits and ways of cheetahs. During our stay there we also celebrated Namibia's Independence day.
Good fun! Thanx Laurie and company!
