Cheetah at Girvana

It was to windy to go out this morning, Friday 18 Aug. so we stayed in camp and did maintenance,  knocked in the pegs that had come loose.

At about 3 we decide to take a drive to Girvana again. on arrival we found 5 cheetah crossing the road we watched and photographed until they disappeared.

We took up our favorite spot at the waterhole to wait and see, not expecting the cheetah to come back.
We heard Impala giving the alarm call in the distance thinking that they had spotted the Cheetah.
We then saw vultures starting to circle and picked up the cheetah feeding on a Impala.

We were alone at the waterhole and watched for at least a half an hour before the vultures harassed the Cheetah into leaving the kill, they headed strait to us and started drinking water, Buffalo arrived and chased the Cheetah.
