Inverdoorn and a little Cape Town

The Huguenot Tunnel is almost 4 KM long; it's tough to hold your breath throughout.	Someone really wanted to be alone.	Willy, my driver, moved from the DRC six years ago.
It's a big place; about 10000 hectares = 38 square miles.	The guesthouse had older, yet functional, rooms.	The pool area was nice, but too cool for swimming.
Trevor, my guide, really enjoys his job.	There are 7 cheetahs, selected for genetic diversity in breeding. Cheetahs have trouble mating.	It's getting up.
Cheetahs are not in the big 5, because they're scared of people.	They're also lighter than human males, about 50-65 KG.	That, plus the fact that we walk on two legs, keeps us safe despite cheetah's speed advantage.
Thus, they eat chickens and such.	Water deer must be within about 1 KG of a lake.	The Springbok is the national animal of South Africa. The black ones do not have their own homelands, either.
Two female lions, one male.	Lions sleep 80% of the time.	However, when a lion gets up and walks towards you ...
like this, we were pleased to have a vehicle.	I bought a little zebra stuffed animal.	Different colors are based on needs in the field.
You can see the colors here.	Because of light rain and fog, I saw six rainbows on the trip.	Ostrich.
Wildebeest.	Oryx, the national animal of Namibia.	The pointy horns can kill you.
Giraffe have right of way on the roads.	You can get pretty close to them.	Horns get worn down fighting over time; there are not too old.
They eat plants and such.	Other animals of the antelope family.	They look sort of like elk.
Maybe this was an inspiration for Bambi.	Different species tend not to bother each other.	The area is mostly brushland.
There are place for animals to hide from rain and poor weather.	Buffalo are another of the big five.	It's tough to tell their mood, so one must be careful.
Rhino are another of the big 5, like lion, buffalo, and the missing leopard and elephant.	They often weigh over 2 tons.	Though this is too rural for me, sunset over camp can be lovely.
On the way back, one can see light snow on mountaintops.	The N1 is cut through the higlands.	Coming back into the Cape Town Metro.
A typical street, showing the walls and gates.	The V&A Waterfront, an upscale mall complex in Cape Town.	Sadly, Disney is unavoidable.
The new Cape Town sports stadium is under construction.	Have I mentioned that I miss the sea?	Good night, Atlanic Ocean.
