Lot of chance with the Cheetah in the first days

I leave alone, early. The first bird, a Swallow-cut ( Swallow-tailled) Bee-eater. A Tawny is being harassed by, I think, a Sparrow,

a couple of Southern Yellow-billed Hornbill is courting, then the female, I think, will visit the nest. I stay a good (long) time, nothing happens, I will come back tomorrow .... perhaps

I come back to the camp when Mama Jackal comes back too, hunting, her little ones ask her to eat, what she does, regurgitating.
Tonight it's Liz's turn to cook, she chooses chicken legs. Great

It's quiet ... but a Cheetah is drawing in the distance, lying down, with 3 little ones. It's Hanri. She moves from tree to tree, calling each time her little ones to join her. I am fascinated, I do not take my eyes off it

We are close to Urikaruus waterhole, the last tree, she jumps to the left ... a huge leap and returns with a rabbit in the mouth
