The Kalahari Desert dominates most parts of eastern and south-eastern Namibia. Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch is an oasis in midst of the imposing parallel dunes, conveying an atmosphere of freedom, pristine nature, warmth and safety. As the logo suggests, the ranch values conservation and education. This is why “Pepper” is the four-legged ambassador.  Pepper is a female cheetah (Acinonys jubatus). Although a wild animal, the fascinating canine creature is not averse to contact with humans – as long as the latter stick to certain rules important when dealing with wild animals.
