Photo Diary of a Cheetah Kill at Africa on Foot

September 4, 2013

The past few days I have been staying at Africa on Foot in the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve. Whenever I visit the camp it feels like I am coming “home”.  The highlight of my stay was witnessing a cheetah kill.

So far, I have experienced the following while staying at Africa on Foot:

  • Honey badgers trying to get into our room.
  • Getting my car stuck in a sand bank and having to be towed out of the bush.
  • Large Tusker drinking from the swimming pool.
  • Stayed overnight in the treehouse – felt so close to nature.
  • Had an emergency wake-up call in the night from the tracker, Enoch, to come and see the lions on the road outside camp.
  • Cheetah kill. I am at a loss for words !

Below is the photo diary of a cheetah kill at Africa on Foot:
