Cheetah Mother in the Olare Motorogi Conservancy, 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.
