Cheetah Walk and World's Tallest Bungee Jump

Today, I got up at half five as my British friends say, jumped out of bed already in my day's clothes and scarfed down a quick breakfast. I got in the van with a bunch of other new interns and watched the sun rise over the beach and mountains as we went winding down the coast. We drove for about an hour and half before turning onto a dirt road where Tenikwa, a Cheetah conservation place was located.

Half of the interns piled out of the van and met our guide. we watched a 5 minute video about cheetah's and then headed out to their enclosure. The guides went in first and harnessed and leashed the Cheetahs. Then brought them out. The 4 guys in the group went with the boy cheetah, Shaga. and the two other girls teamed up to let the female drag us around. Shaga took off running, and the boys had to follow, he didn't go very far though. They had two leashes on them and usually the guide had one leash and one of us had the other one. If the cheetah started acting up, which happened a few times, the guide took both leashes.

And if we were in a spot where he knew she was going to behave, he would let two of take the leashes. We walked around for about 45 minutes and spent a lot of that time with them sitting on the top of a hill resting - where we could sit beside her and just hang out with my new cheetah friend! So so so cool!
