Cheetah cubs. SUCCESS.
After years of trying I finally saw baby cheetah cubs. These were very young I was told six weeks old. They are born black and after about three months they start to lose that white mane and gain color. We were told the mane makes animals mistake cheetah cubs for honey badgers and they really do look like honey badgers if you do not see their faces.
When we arrived the Cubs were nursing. Then they jumped up and started playing. Running around with each other and climbing trees. One was a little bigger and could climb well the other one struggled. Absolutely an incredible sighting. Could not have been better. We stayed with them until it got dark.
From the start I wanted to see wild dogs and baby cheetah. I got the wild dogs years ago but not the baby cheetah. These were so young it was a better than I had ever hoped to see.
Last game drive n the morning. The others are going to try and find the cheetah and we are going back after the small lion cubs.
Cant believe we are about to go home. Time Seems to have just flown by and we saw so many amazing things. Each group had highlights and fantastic sightings an amazing trip.
