When they got about 500 meters from the water hole the one cheetah got into a tree followed by another one staring at the springbok drinking water at Kij-Kij. Some of the springbok moved more south in the direction on the cheetah which will make any easy hunt for the three. As we were hoping for something to happen a lion started roaring causing the cheetahs to flee towards the dunes heading west. Poor cheetahs had to miss out on a good meal.
