Our Guide, Grace, got a call that a cheetah was sighted in a certain area, but no specifics. We drive there, and start looking. Initially without success, and then, after ~20min of searching, I spot her. And not just &#8220;her&#8221;. It was a Mum with 5 cubs. One of them was smaller than the rest, but still, 5 is amazing. We spend an hour observing and taking photographs there, with no-one else to bother us. We all felt very blessed, as the family was not shy at all and crossed the street maybe 10m in front of us.<\/p>\n\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-210 .fg-image { width: 150px;
