Reporting Date: 14.1.2013
The short rains came and subsided shortly in November last year but came back in full swing over christmas and after new year.This has facilitated good pasture growth in the open savannah in maasai mara reserve, enjoyed by the gazelles currently. The cheetahs inturn have been attracted to this fields and driving through can reward with the cats sighting.
Daniel on full day game drive came across a cheetah and a cub that had made a kill a few minutes before arriving. The sun was biting hard but they continued to fill before the larger predators come to take over and was stunning to watch them feeding.
