Morning of the Cheetah

This morning our mission to find cheetah was a great success, not only did we find a beautiful lone female cheetah but we were also reunited with some old friends.....namely Sita (BBC's Shakira) and her three female cubs (approx 16/17 months old) It was an especially special moment to see this family having spent many hours with them a few months ago. As we sit and write this blog they are resting on a mound in the harsh African sun, having already made two failed attempts to kill and source food. The inexperience of the cubs is still evident as both attempts were foiled by the lack of patience that two of the cubs showed whilst stalking their prey, sitting up at just the wrong moment. It wont be long now until the young girls make a new independent life for themselves. Meanwhile a lone lioness can be spotted in the far distance having made a failed attempt to hunt a Topi.
