This was our first ever Sharpies, so we were thrilled...............though it was actually Bushmom and her Baby30, who spotted it, when we spent a very pleasant drive with them on the H14 last year. :thumbs_up:

Last year we were lucky enough to witness a cheetah kill , about 5 km north of Mopani camp, 30 meters off the road. The grass was really long and he was able to get pretty close to the impala.

He suffocated the impala in about 2 minutes. Very quiet, no struggle
