Yes it can!  We set off in the afternoon in search of nothing in particular and stumbled across some fresh lion tracks – we followed up and Hendrick found the Lioness with her cubs on Bloubank/Leopards bend cutline just west of Diepdam. They were fairly active so we could only manage a couple of photos of the cubs before they disappeared into the thicket.

We had a spectacular sunset with White backed Vultures sitting a Leadwood tree with the moonshine behind them. Made for some dramatic and beautiful shots! Check it out below …

In the morning our goal was to find rhino and we set off on a mission. We saw a dazzle of zebras, giraffes and some Warthogs. We headed to Leopard’s Bend.

We got a surprise and picked up fresh Cheetah tracks – we followed up and they had taken down a waterbuck. How lucky!!! It must have been 30 – 40 minutes after the kill was made that we found them in a thicket. It required some tricky driving skills and we managed some photos whilst driving as Aggy is on his off days, nonetheless some great shots were captured.

Well, all I can say is … it’s already a privilege (and super-rare) to witness cheetahs in the wild, but to see them on a kill … that’s the cherry on top for any African safari. Lucky guests, for sure.
