Cheetah with four, four month old cubs. It was a very chilly and rather damp morning in the Naboisho Conservancy, Maasai Mara, Kenya when we found this cheetah family huddling together to keep warm and dry. This was the first litter for this young cheetah. She had had six cubs but her inexperience had meant she had lost two along the way. However, she had done very well to get four cubs to four months of age. It was charming to see how these delightful cubs clambered over each other and their mother searching for the driest, warmest and most comfortable spot. Lovely to see a cheetah with four, four month old cubs early on our game drive out of Kicheche Valley Camp.
