I wrote a few weeks ago that our reserve’s “specialty” might just become cheetah sightings, which, in general, are very rare (given that cheetahs are one of the very rarest animals in Africa)

Well, it seems that this is becoming truer and truer as the weeks and months go by. A few days ago we saw two young cheetahs happily munching away at a very recent kill in the riverbed, very close to the Vuyani Safari Lodge. Pointless to mention that both the ranger and the guests were ecstatic! What a treat!

These cats are usually very skittish, but these two could not care less about our presence. The photos that our guests took were second to none as a result. This is the sort of stuff that safari dreams are made of, and that’s why we get so many raving reviews. To enjoy such a sighting for sometimes up to an hour is a real delicatesse, and definitely one to savour.

See the photos we took below. Both cheetahs, after eating most of the impala kill, proceeded to resting and then fooling around, clearly being in a good mood after such a delicious meal.

And, I will not disclose more, but very soon I will post yet another cheetah story that happened just two days ago! Even more spectacular than this one! Possibly one of the most unique cheetah sightings one can imagine. To follow very soon!
