A ROYAL SIGHTING

After spending another beautiful day in the bush, we could not have ended it more perfectly... We were just getting ready for sundowners when we saw these spotted beauties in the distance with the orange winter sun setting behind them... So, we made a quick detour before we lost the last bit of sun which allowed us to capture them in this beautiful moment as these cheetahs were scanning the horizon before taking shelter for the night! Truly stunning!

Hi,

I came to Phinda in early June and whilst I was there we saw a cheetah with three cubs - one of the cubs had been injured by another male cheetah (one of the two brothers) but seemed to just about be okay and managed to limp after / follow its mum and other two cubs. I think they were in the Marshlands area? I was wondering if anyone could tell me if the injured cheetah cub is still okay? I know it's a bit unlikely but I really hope it is!

Thanks
