Jenny and Graham are in for their winter retreat and it was not long before their Kicheche Valley Camp relationship with Johnson Kepara bore dividends. This sorcerer found a hungry cheetah ‘Namunyak’ and her boy two (2) hundred metres from camp.
She missed her first lunch sitting but then brought down a large male impala. This is a big meal for any cheetah regardless of the time of year and pretty soon the two spotted bellies resembled basketballs.
They staggered away to sleep it off and the vultures descended followed by some impudent jackals.
This then attracted a lioness who had to endure constant harassment from various adversaries, especially a growing clan of increasingly hostile hyenas.

After a few scrapes these mortal enemies raised their defcon levels to open warfare and the lion lost her spoils.
For once it was the cheetahs watching, not suffering.
Top work Johnson, top images Jenny and marvellous video Graham. Watch with the volume up.
