Cheetah Mother in the Olare Motorogi Conservancy, Kenya.

This is a photo of a mother cheetah that has climbed part way up a tree in Kenya.

To finish the story I started a week or so ago, after those great four days with Gamewatchers Safaris in the Ol Kinyei Conservancy just north of the Maasai Mara Reserve, I spent the next four days at Gamewatchers’ Porini Lion Camp in the Olare Motorogi Conservancy.  As the name implies, there are a lot of lions in the conservancy where Gamewatchers’ Porini Lion Camp is located.  They were easy to find and photograph.   I also saw and photographed leopards on two of the four days and saw and photographed cheetahs every day.  Like during my previous four days in the Ol Kinyei Conservancy, I had an excellent guide in Nelson Keiwua.  With us every day was Nelson’s spotter, John Tompoi.  I think I’m pretty good at spotting wildlife, but Nelson and John are in another league.

It was hard deciding on a photo here, but I finally decided on this cheetah mom who had three cubs.  I spent a fair amount of time photographing her and, especially, her three rambunctious cubs.  I already want to go back.
