Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre

Yesterday was our leisure day at the Thornhill Lodge. In the morning we went to Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre aka, The Cheetah Project, hesc.co.za, an amazing centre where endangered animals are being bred, particularly cheetahs. We had hoped to see the baby rhinos but they were hiding in their shed :(. Andre our guide was so knowledgeable and I learnt so much. It's so sad to think that rhino sightings cannot be shared at Kruger because of the risk of poachers finding them and that leopards, cheetahs and African wild dogs are so endangered.

The afternoon and evening were then spent by the pool.
