"Where are the Cheetahs?" Top 5 Page for this destination Masai Mara Game Reserve Things to Do Tip by Waxbag

One of the reasons we came to Masai Mara and East Africa in general besides the wildebeest migration was to see cheetahs. After two trips to game parks in southern Africa I still had not seen a single cheetah. They are everywhere in Masai Mara! After the first 10 minutes in the park we saw a pair of cheetahs right on the side of the road. We found though, that they highest concentration of these cats are in the western part of the park north of the Mara River and west of the Talek River. There are many termite mounds in this section and lots of good open plains. In one day we saw a cheetah eating a gazelle, a cheetah chilling on a mount, and a mother and cub, and then the mother running down a gazelle and killing it. Spectacular! If cheetah is on your list you must come to the Mara.
