Second Day at Kapama Reserve - 23 July 2016

23 July 2016

The morning ride was not terribly exciting although I enjoyed it.  The problem is how cold it is before the sun rises and after it sets

 We went to HESC this morning right after the ride.  While they work with other animals, I was most interested in the Cheetahs.  They have quite a few that they are trying to save and also get to breed.

Lunch was served after we got back from HESC.  I was rather tired and took a nap.
