On our very last day we started our gamedrive early at 6.30 am. In the park you are not allowed to go on drives without a permit which is stored at the gate when you are in the rest camp so first thing to do is to get the permits. But the office was closed so we could not get the permits. Instead of waiting we left without the permits. Good thing we did because had we waited we would have missed 3 cheetahs (we later found out the offce opened at 7 am).

WOW Tommy! Beautiful animals. I'll have to go back to try to see some... I really like number 2 (I'm a big fan of close-ups) although the 3 are great.

What a great way to celebrate you 15'000th post ;-)a

Don't know if it's possible to be any more envious. My favorite cats and beautifully captured. Amazing Tommy.

Photographs are records of life. Pity they don't make music when you put them in a record player. :p

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww Tommy The cats love you! These are just awesome. I love the first as it shows the build of this cat. Build for speed! Glad you all went ahead without the permits and now permit us the image to view!

Looking forward to more GAPS2 :)
