MALA MALA CAMP

Mala Mala Game Reserve, South Africa

Today is international cheetah day. A day when we celebrate these speed demons of the savannah. A day when we admire their svelte form and delicate spots. A day when we wonder what the future holds of these incredible creatures. At this point it’s a real toss up about what’s faster – a hunting cheetah or their devastating rate of extinction. With only 7,000 adults left in the wild (that’s less than 10% of their historical population), there is no time to delay in taking action against their extinction.

Two months ago I took a trip with my best friend.  It was not planned.  As some things go this was best.  We went half way around the world and opened our eyes to a world we had only read about.  I was not ready for what I saw.
