Hi,
The Mrs & I spent a few days at Tiger Canyon (http://tigercanyon.com/), a reserve establised about 20 years ago to save the endangered Bengal tiger, and now they have wild tigers roaming free as the apex predator in the reserve. What an amazing experience: the one day we chilled not 2m from a pair of cheetahs eating a freshly-killed blesbok 
If you ever make it to ZA, I highly recommend a visit: it's a very small eco lodge, max 6 guests, so a very personalised service. We drove the 1900km round trip in the Rangie, with excellent fuel consumption even though on the return trip the ambient temps were 34-38C the whole day. Here are some photos, videos will be up in a few days.

Oh, one of the more interesting things we've seen on safari: there was a photographer and a model there, doing a naked photoshoot with cheetahs: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CWbdjlvjq3k/ 😅
this is them doing the same with elephants: https://www.instagram.com/p/CWFx7-DlExj/ -- 2010 Defender Puma 90 + BAS remap + Alive IC + Slickshift + Ashcroft ATB rear 2015 Range Rover Sport V8 Supercharged

Awesome. A couple of years ago I managed to get up close and personal with some tigers on a behind the scenes tour of Longleat Safari Park but it's not the same as seeing them in the wild. Darren
