She is Kisaru, the most successful Cheetah mother in Maasai Mara. I photographed her with one cub during recent November 2023 safari. It was raining and Kisaru made a kill of Gazelle. Her baby ate its share and you can see the blood stains on its face. In 2019 she delivered 6 cubs at a time and successfully raised them to adulthood. This is not a small achievement, especially if you see the mortality rate of cheetah cubs. It is estimated that only 1 out of 10 cubs survive through the adulthood. In 2020 January I was fortunate to witness these 6 cubs with Kisaru and made a video of that moment spent with them. If you are inclined watching it than this is the link https://youtu.be/T3tHl0q4YLs?si=ECEsT7gu6kPpJNB3 Later in a day I am going to release a cute video (on YouTube) of this cub playing with Kisaru. Keep watch on my next post...and yes if you are interested in joining any of my 2024 African safari then I have following spaces : February 20 -26 Maasai Mara - Sold out but I can accommodate 2 seats since the entire camp is booked and I have one room which can house 2 people.
