Just back from another Ndutu/Serengeti sojourn,
with no foundation rain in Nov & Dec conditions were very dry and the initial rain and subsequent water from my first week here soon disappeared and the majority of the migration left the Ndutu/Kusini area for greener pastures in the Seronera.
Having said that, cheetah numbers were very good, and witnessed 25 different individuals. :cheers:
It was 6.42 pm and with the sun almost set:
Here mum and her 4 x five month old cubs have my attention as the sun sets on the grassland plains of Ndutu. We tracked this wonderful family of 5 for my 10 days here and also found them on the Kusini/Serengeti side during the 2nd half of my trip, they were all doing very well when I last saw them just 4 days ago.
On my first day I heard this mother had managed to bring down a young zebra, no mean feat with a protective mother around,:Whoa!: but after that she concentrated more on Thommies and their babies.
Stay tuned for more of this wonderful 5.:w3
