Safari Questions

Questions About This Safari

Why are the southern plains best for cheetah?

Their open, short-grass terrain gives cheetah the sightlines and open ground their hunting style depends on.

Will I see a hunt?

Not guaranteed, but daytime hunting (unlike most big cats) means cheetah activity is more visible during normal game-drive hours.

Is this good timed with calving season?

Yes, December-March's calving migration draws predators including cheetah to the southern plains in higher numbers.
