Things to do in Namibia – Cheetah Conservation Fund – EP. 119
EDITORIAL SUMMARY
This episode follows an adventure ride through Namibia to the Cheetah Conservation Fund, an international organisation dedicated to saving cheetahs in the wild. The visit shifts the journey from the road to a close-up, educational encounter with the animals.
About this film
OnHerBike visits the Cheetah Conservation Fund to learn about the pressures facing cheetahs and why the species is threatened with extinction. The episode includes the Fund’s feeding time and a cheetah run, offering a view of the animals in activity as well as context about their conservation. The visit is presented as one stop within a continuing motorcycle adventure, rather than as a standalone wildlife feature.
The journey
The Namibia ride belongs to a solo round-the-world motorcycle trip that began in Australia in April 2017. The creator travelled on a BMW F800GS, with the wider journey’s destination and duration left open. Here, the route brings the rider to the Cheetah Conservation Fund; the episode’s focus turns to learning about cheetah conservation and seeing the animals at feeding time and during their run.
What to expect
- A conservation-focused stop within an ongoing motorcycle journey through Namibia.
- An introduction to why cheetahs are threatened with extinction.
- Close-up viewing of feeding time and a cheetah run.
