A female cheetah looks out for danger while her cubs feed on the gazelle she had just caught. A storm had just broken out and the rain was bucketing down.
I can't wait to catch up with this family from Saturday - and to see what else the Mara Triangle holds for my guests and I.

3 commentsNeat photo, but I am afraid the small size of the cubs in the frame hurts the overall impact. Would like to see this cropped larger. Thanks for sharing this moment with us.
I look forward to seeing what you find, Morkel. Here they don't look especially comfortable, but I like seeing some slanting rain in Africa.
Great detail and drama here - you captured the scene beautifully with the mother looking out dutifully over her much smaller cubs. I particularly like what the rain adds and think the cub on the left looking into the distance adds a ton. Really nice image to stare at
