Cheetah in Serengeti

Cheetah in Serengeti

This was on the Jenman East Africa Migration Discoverer tour over 15 days. We were so lucky to sight the East African cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus jubatus) cheetah after hunting on the open plains with it’s kill of a Thomson’s gazelle. Apparently 89% of cheetah kills consist of Thomson’s gazelles due the abundance and readily available species. The cheetah seemed to be looking around a lot and our guide Victor, commented that the female may have lost her cubs during the hunt. Victor also advised if that was the case; the cubs would be vulnerable to lions, leopards, and hyenas. 27 – 0 Thank You For Your Vote! Sorry You have Already Voted!

This is a photo I had been dreaming about taking for months and I am super grateful that I was able to take it and for it to turn out this good!

After 20 minutes of bouncing around off track, we slowed. There, lying in the shade in front of us, were one females with her cubs, their stomach bulging, too full to even acknowledge our arrival.

Roadblock

Coming back from a game drive in Chamabondo NP ( part of Zambezi National Park that runs parallel with the Kazangula Road) we noticed something in the road from quite a distance away from them. At first we thought is was a troop of baboons – but as we got closer we realised that it was a small pride of lion. We sat and watched them for ages, until a car came from the opposite direction and forced them to move off. They didn’t venture very far, so got to sit and watch them for a while longer before we headed home. Best kind of roadblock you can come across. 8 – 0 Thank You For Your Vote!

Fight for life

An Elephant herd was crossing a deep channel in the Okavango Delta. Some older mothers and younger sisters began crossing and it was a dream come true to see family making it through the channel. At some point only the trunks and forehead could be seen. Then came a mother with its very young one behind. This is one of the most beautiful experiences I’ve had the privilege to witness in Africa as the young was struggling to stay afloat was trying to grip its mom’s tail and following closely, almost trying not to loose contact. The look of despair and fear of the young has no description as well as its mom’s looking to the rear while trying to make eye contact for reassurance and confidence. Their eyes were all of it; that was telling everything about the moment. 85 – 6 Thank You For Your Vote! Sorry You have Already Voted!
