GAPS 5: Cheetah with cubs on Impala kill, Kruger

We're back from another Great African Photo Safari ... this year it was Kruger National Park in South Africa. The light was generally poor throughout but you tend to forget when there's a mother Cheetah and three cubs chowin' down on an Impala just a few metres from your vehicle!! The shutter speeds way too low on a few of these but they came out OK. We saw double figures in Cheetah ... amazing, as we'd only seen three in total on our last four safaris!

beautiful, what a story those shots tell. thanks for posting them.

Wonderful shots, what a fantastic opportunity.

great set

Great series. Thanks. Makes me want to pack my bags.

Cheers for the kind comments guys! Much appreciated. This was pretty much a noce in a life-time sighting and to be so close was such a bonus.

No matter about shutter speed and whatnot Dave, those are cracking shots!

Excellent sir, excellent.

I said it was an Impala ... But it was Petkal.

Great photos and I am so envious that I did not see chetah cubs.

Thanks, am sorry you never saw them too! Luck of the draw.

Deeply jealous as well, Dave. Excellent work, sir.
