Ranger Daniel and his two guests started their half day game-drive in the Masai mara game reserve with a quest to find the famous Cheetah with her four cubs. It took a while before they found her because the vast mara plains are still covered with grass. As Daniel was driving around in her home range he noticed some Thompson gazelle on high alert and knew there must be a predator they were keenly watching.
On arrival, it was the famous Cheetah and her four cubs feeding on a Thompson gazelle carcass. His guests found it very interesting to watch the cubs try get something to eat.
