Day Trip and The Gambia

I finished the training early on Thurday, so I booked another half day trip to another game reserve. This time the main attraction was a leopard and two cheetahs. Here is the leopard:

The cheetahs:

It was really cool to see them so close, they came right next to the vehicle.

Afterwards we stopped at the main house on the property and had a drink. While on by the house I noticed this flower growing out of some cacti:

On the way back a rhino crossed the road right in front of us. He was pretty curious about us and hung around the vehicle for a while right beside the road. This was pretty lucky for us to see...even the guide took out his camera and took some pictures!

Today I fly to The Gambia today. It will be around a 20 hour trip, I am not looking forward to it. I make 2 transfers (I fly all the way to Frankfurt, then Belgium, then to The Gambia...it was that or spend the night in the Dakar airport) during the trip, so I figure there is a good chance that my luggage will get lost somewhere along the way, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it doesn't.
