Reporting Date:17.9.2012
Two month with the great migration in the Maasai Mara Reserve the once lashing savannah has been mowed attracting more gazelles which in turn have attracted predators mostly the cheetah. This mother cheetah moved from along Talek river and is now close to lmisigiyoi open plains.
On full day game drive Alex and his guest missed the kill by a few minutes but were lucky to witness the family enjoying the meal hurriedly before the vultures arrive or even the bigger predator who get attracted by the vultures landing.
