Cheetah

The fastest land animal, built for the open plains.
The cheetah needs space and short grass — the Mara, the Serengeti and the Kalahari. We base you on the open plains in the season when the cats are hunting and the light is at its best for photography.

Begin your cheetah safari

We place you on the open plains where cheetah hunt, timed to the dry months when the grass is short and sightings are strongest.
