This image was taken when the famed Tano Bora had four members left. During the course of making this image (November 2021), the four remaining cheetahs stalked and waited for about three hours until sundown to take this topi down. Initially the hunt was a little ill planned in that the leading cheetah started his chase and the topi suddenly changed direction, leading the cheetah to go off track. He soon regained his balance and caught up with the topi. The rest of the action post this shot took place out of our view, to the left of our vehicle, such was the speed of the chase. They finally did take the topi down easily enough.
