Mum and babies

A female cheetah with her three cubs that I saw when on Safari in Tanzania in 2019. They walked alongside the jeep and then very politely went and posed for photos on an old termite stack.

Re: Mum and babies

How lovely! Thank you for sharing these wonderful photos. Cheetahs - even with their babies - are known to be the most friendly of the big cats.

Yes it was an amazing trip. Two weeks safari, the wildlife was incredible. Saw the big five - lion, leopard, rhino, buffalo and elephant as well as many other animals and birds. I’ll never be able to go to a zoo again after that.

I’ll try and make an album of some of my photos.

Re: Mum and babies

Some more mums and babies. These beautiful animals crossed the track about ten meters in front of our jeep to get to the mudhole for a bath. Tarangire National Park

Re: Mum and babies

Wonderful photos Ulla, how lucky you were to be able to share their corner of the world for a short while, it must have been a humbling experience.

I must show my granddaughter the cheetahs. They are her favourite animals - in fact one of her favourite dresses is one I made her from cheetah printed jersey. She has tons of clothes, but that one comes out again and again

Thanks for sharing these lovely images

Re: Mum and babies

Elephants show such care and tenderness towards their young.
