| Cheetahs, Acinonyx jubatus |
Day 6 (19 September) started with an early morning trip to the False Bay Nature Reserve to catch the sunrise. Unfortunately the cloud cover obscured the event, but we saw plenty of birds. After lunch we were introduced to the reptiles in the collection at Umkhumbi Lodge where we were staying. Finally we visited the Emdoneni Animal Care & Rehab Centre which cares for many species of rescued cats which are put back into the wild whenever possible.
Some of the bird photos are poor, but the best I could get of a species.
