A morning with Cheetah cubs

One very early morning in Ndutu we came across the same cheetah family featured in my first ever blog post, Cheetahs in the rain, which was about a Mum and her 2 young cheetah cubs who were caught in the rain storm. When we came across the Cheetahs they were just waking up to the sun peering through the trees. As they woke up the Cheetah cubs became a lot more active playing on the bank of the river and even chasing after hartebeest. As always the young cheetahs in Ndutu, Tanzania, full of surprises and amazing to watch!

Cheetahs in the rain

Inspired by two fantastic weeks on safari in Tanzania, as well as other adventures, I've decided to start a photographic blog. I thought I would start with some of my favourite photographs of the trip, which are all of a family of cheetahs, Mum and two cubs, that were caught in a rain storm. Unfortunate for them but it led to a very unique set of photographs for us!
