Came across these three cheetahs at sunrise maybe a mile after leaving Kati Kati Camp One of my favorite photos of the entire trip Keeping an eye out for prey

The black tear streaks are a distinguishing feature of a cheetah They like higher points so they can scan for prey Sometimes they'll actually jump up on the hoods of Land Cruisers to scan for prey, but I wasn't that lucky

Didn't see any prey anywhere near these guys, so eventually we moved on with no chance of seeing a kill Three cheetahs Three cheetahs
Now a different cheetah Just finished eating Came across two cheetahs in the tall grass, looked like they had just taken down a Thomson's gazelle
