Sherry and I have made many trips to Kruger where we struck out on seeing Cheetah but on this last trip we were able to photograph either 8 or 12. As it was groups of 4 and we saw them in different locations not sure if they were duplicates. One time though we saw them within 20 minutes off the main road 10km apart so it was at least two groups. Unfortunately the the most interesting shots were taken on the far side of the river on the S100 and are not that good. They are though interesting.

We have never seen cheetahs in the riverbeds on any of our many Kruger safaris! Leopards yes, so this is an unusual sighting.

The first two photos were taken across the N'wanetsi river from the S100. The second two were taken from the H1-3 Just north of Tshokwane in the N'waswitsontso river bed

Nice Bob, cheetahs are not always easy to find in the Kruger and you found 12 wow good going. Where in the Kruger did photograph them, you mentioned a river and from what we can see it looks a dry river bed, but in which area of the park?

"It's 768 pages of the most amazing information. It consists of, well, everything really. Photography info...area info...hidden roads..special places....what they have seen almost road by road. Where to stay just outside the Park...camp information. It takes quite a lot to impress me but I really feel that this book, which was 7 years in the making, is exceptional."            - Janey Coetzee, founder of CAROK (Camps and Roads of Kruger)  South Africa
