Campsite made in heaven shared with big cats!

Driving from Etosha we quickly arrived at Africat, an organization which rescues lions, leopards, wild dogs and cheetahs. This unique game park tries to educate farmers and the community by reaching out to schools in order to explain the value of these predators. They also have a clinic where the animals in question are checked and operated on if necessary. They rely on voluntary work from around the world.

The campsite here was unbelievable. There were only four sites each having two showers and two toilets that were architectural using nature to its advantage. The only fear Frank had was that we might run into a black Mamba while heading off to the toilet especially when we were told it is sure death in 15 minutes. We also heard that they are quite shy.

This is the campsite in the morning:


 Here is where we saw leopards and cubs, ate a fabulous dinner at the bush lodge and had a giant swimming pool to ourselves.
