Visiting a cheetah conservatory was one of my favorite animal experiences in South Africa (c) GoBackpacking.com
We’ve had some amazing First Friday Wild Posts, but when David Lee, Editor of GoBackpacking.com, showed us these shots of South Africa, we were literally blown away!
David blogged his way around the world on Go Backpacking from 2007, all the way through to 2009. When not writing, he can be found salsa dancing in Medellin, Colombia. Yes David, we like your style, and with photography like that we'd also like to borrow your camera! Any chance...? Follow David on Twitter @rtwdave

Hey are you allowed to stroke leopards? And on the pic is it a shark or dolphin? Whats that multicolored bug called? OH can vErItY get of the chair? And can Efi'S ever obey you ?Also are kids allowed there? thanks :)
Ostrich rides are available on the 7-day Coast To Cape Town - we're based in the UK and South Afrca =)
it's a blue Koppie Foam Grasshopper - if you want to get closer to the big cats you can go walking with lions in Zimbabwe and Zambia - if you're taking the kids it's worth looking at our small group safaris =)
