Our third and final sighting of the Tano Bora coalition of cheetahs resulted in a very successful photo session after six hours of waiting and patiently following these amazing cats. While all five are active in the hunt, I noticed that it’s a single cheetah that makes the first contact while the rest quickly follow to assist in the kill. As soon as the catch is made the remaining topis ‘relax’ a bit while paying attention to the sad end of their companion.
