The arrival of the wildbeests into the mara brings good news to the cats as food is in plenty making conditions favourable for breeding. The cheetah gestation period is on average 3 month and the young ones are kept into hiding for some time before being moved around in search of save places and food for the lactating female.
Philip on a full day game drive came across this delicate family roaming the Maasai Mara plains and had ample time with the happy looking family. The guests wished them a safe survival after philip explained the dangers involved in raising the tender cubs in the enemy full ecosytem which include mostly the lions and hyena.
