This is another frame from the photographic safari I led to the Mara Triangle for the Great Migration. It truly was a spectacle, and although we didn't see any major crossings (did have a few smaller ones), the predator action was out of this world (to be expected when hundreds of thousands of herbivores dot the plains around your secluded camp site).
This is a photo from one of 4 successful kills we photographed - 2x cheetah and 2x lion. This mother has 5 cubs to feed and seems to be hunting every day. We were ideally positioned for a chase coming towards us, when the Thomson's Gazelle (out of frame here) decided to walk away from us even before the chase started. I do like the environment being shown as well as the lithe pose of the ferociously fast cheetah.
