beautiful encounter on foot

one of 5 cubs raised by a female Cheetah in a large game reserve in the Eastern Cape, South Africa in February 2019.

This image was taken early morning when we tracked these beautiful cats on foot with an experienced guide. The Cheetah mother was very relaxed and we stayed with her family for about half an hour.

The next morning when we drove around in that same area we encountered a large Black Rhino bull.
