Malaika with her cub-Near Rekero Camp on 8th.August.2012.At around 10:30 Am toda, after watching a leopard that has hanged a kill up a tree near main crossing we decided to have our picnic breakfast at a hippo pool opposite serena safari lodge ,we drove towards a place where malaika,a cheetah with her cub was spotted and lucky enough we found her,not many traffic as it was in the morning.It was getting too warm for them being on top of a termite mound,but all of a sudden mum spotted a female Thomson's gazelle in a distance,she marked where she was,went through croton bushes.At one point after she closed in,the cub decided to hide herself and let mum go and look for Breakfast-Lunch,mum tried her best but she was not succesful and she immediately went back calling her cub!

Leopard Tortoise-One of the Little Five On 8th.August.2012.As we were heading back to our camp for lunch this tortoise was just by the road side,they are well comouflaged that they are not easily spotted.It is the commonest Chelonian in Mara together with the Marsh Terrapin!
A wildbeest Carcass-Maternity area On August.2012. We found some vultures on this carcass but they all take off after we slowly approached them,Vultures accompany the migration with the knowledge that wherever the wildebeest would be they must be killed and they will get something to scavenge on!,white-headed vultures where are you?
