We had an amazing sighting of two Cheetah brothers during one of our safaris in Maasai Mara. And to our delight, we sighted them again. In the previous post, we shared their stakeout at the Kenya-Tanzania border. We thought that the brothers would move into the...

After quenching their thirst at the roadside puddle, the Cheetah brothers kept moving towards the Kenya-Tanzania border in Maasai Mara. Since we had positioned ourselves in front of the Cheetahs when they were drinking water, we had an amazing view of them walking...

The Cheetah brothers that we spotted in Masai Mara kept moving from tree to tree scent marking the territory. That gave us many opportunities to photograph their behavior. You can read more about it in our previous post. I guess all the scent marking made the Cheetah...

The Cheetah mother and cub that we described in our previous post moved into the open after their cover was blown. After giving us the parting look, the mother Cheetah decided to settle down on a termite mound (below) not far away from the safari tracks. Seeing the...

What could better the morning’s Drama at the Buffalo kill! That’s what we thought. However, Masai Mara had something equally exciting in store for us on that evening safari. We were approaching a major crossing point when we saw a few tourist vehicles...
