Description: The two remaining brothers of the Tano Bora coalition moving as one.

Story from behind the lens: Our guide informed us that the cheetahs were off for a hunt. We positioned our vehicle near the herd of topis grazing on grasses. As anticipated by our guide, the cheetahs, the two remaining brothers of the Tano Bora coalition, came sprinting towards the antelopes - but the preys were so quick to react at that time leaving the predators disappointed.

I had limited movement during our Maasai Mara adventure because of a broken shoulder, and was asked to sit in the front to protect it from further injury. I got a better view while the cheetahs walked away, passing in front me. I saw them walking slowly, as if reflecting on what just had happened, and at some point they were moving as "one" powerful cheetah - perhaps, a warning to all the preys.
