Cheetah female and five cubs kill kudu

We've been very fortunate with cheetah sightings lately, and on this particular afternoon our luck continued when we came across a female cheetah with five cubs. They had just killed an enormous kudu. Such large prey is relatively uncommon for cheetah, although on Kwandwe it does occur fairly frequently. Yet again, the light was just perfect and we settled in to watch the family feed. It was the same group that a week previously had killed a red hartebeest just outside the gate to the staff village.
