Playful Cheetah

While cruising around Etosha park, Namibia I spotted two juvenile cheetahs and their mother out of the corner of my eye. The younger cheetahs were playing on a termite mound and a climbing the pictured tree, as their mother booth stood guard, looking for prey and other predators. I stayed as long with these 3 cheetahs as I possibly could. Being that it was sunset, however, I eventually had to leave earlier in an effort to make it to my camp before they shut the gates on me. I made it thankfully.
