We had two terrific late afternoon Cheetah sightings during our 2024 Manyeleti Magic photographic safari at the end of June. Our guests were most appreciative of these two beautiful models!
Our first cheetah sighting of the trip was courtesy of this male patrolling and marking his territory. We could follow along for quite some distance and our guide positioned the vehicle expertly for great shots, even in the fast-fading light.
Our second cheetah sighting of the trip was of another male using a fallen Marula tree as a vantage point from which to check for prey or danger – we never figured out which it was as he disappeared from view in a thorny thicket shortly after jumping off.
We’re already taking bookings for our 2025 Manyeleti Magic Photographic Safari and Workshop, to be conducted out of Buffelshoek Camp again in June of next year in conjunction with Hannes Rossouw Photography. Contact us if you’d like to join this one, or if you and a group of family and friends are keen to do something similar on other dates we’d be very glad to accommodate you!

Amazing!
Oh absolutely, Kathy! I hope you’ll get to see a cheetah when you visit next year!
Cheetah are magical animals – we have been fortunate to see them on both recent trips to MZNP.
And don’t they just look so perfectly at home there in Mountain Zebra, Anne!?
Absolutely! I am going there next month 🙂 🙂
Now that is something tom look forward to! Spring in Mountain Zebra NP!
Ek is mal oor jagluiperde. Hul het sulke hartseer gesigte.
Dis jammer n mens sien hulle so selde, Ineke. Aan die ander kant is dit dalk juis hoekom mens hulle so waardeer!
Dit is so en hul is ook maar geneig om enkellopend te wees.
They are such beautiful cats. The second one is wearing a tracker collar?
That’s right, Lois. Being such endangered creatures researchers often keep tabs on certain individuals to determine strategies to better protect the species as a whole.
