passed some beautiful but dry country.
We saw many camels in this area.

WHITE RHINO
These are very endangered and here they are
kept fenced against poachers.
Looking ahead at a rise in the terrain Elder Moon
saw the curl of a cat's tail on the horizon!
"There are cats ahead!"
YEAH!!
There were
SIX CHEETAHS
out for a morning hunt!!
We followed them for a while...
...
.
Looking for their breakfast!
Let's go and get set-up....
Off for the prey...
Can you see them concentrating of the prey
on the other side of the road?
Two others crossed the road and were waiting there
for the right moment to strike....
All\ the time the birds were chirping... it was louder and louder...
but he prey - an impala - was not heeding the warning of the birds!!
How often are we like that and don't heed the warning of parents or
friends to be aware of danger in our lives?
Intense concentration UNTIL two other vans drove
up and separated their sight from the prey!!
