Reporting Date: 30.09.2011.
Cheetah's are mostly active at dawn and dusk and prefer spending most of their day resting. They like hunting gazelles and smaller antelopes which forage in open grassy plains.
Alex and his four guests were having a very successfull day game viewing in the Masai mara game reserve. As they were driving back towards the camp they saw a cheetah running as fast as its long legs could carry it on a distant plain. On arrival they were very anxious to see what the chase was all about and to everyone's suprise it was a baby Thompson gazelle. It took a while before the cheetah could finally enjoy its early dinner because the young tommy was full of life!!
