2010-01-02 Masai Mara N.R.

All rivers in the Mara are completely full, making any crossing impossible. We drove around a lot and found the Cheetah named Audrey and her single remaining cub, one from a litter of seven born exactly one year ago, January 2nd 2009. For the cub’s birthday the mother caught a female Impala, which they ate before the vultures came to take over. In the evening another old friend finally showed up, albeit briefly, the female Leopard named Olive. Her cubs are still doing fine.
