Charla was gorgeous! Her amber eyes constantly
searched the plain looking for prey, always on the alert. We were all in
awe of being in her presence and relished the opportunity to give her a
gentle stroke - respecting the fact that she was a wild animal. She
rewarded us with a gentle rumble of a purr and a rough lick of her tongue.
According to Phil, cheetah's are the only
wild cat that can be easily 'tamed' (or rather become more tolerant towards
humans).

* In 1977, Phil and a mate
completed a full trans-Africa trip in a Series III Land Rover - those were
the days when maps were limited, satellite phones and GPS technology did
not exist so travel was 'by the seat' of your pants!
