Lazy Cheetah (Duma)

The mass of animals that abound on these plains is impossible to convey in words and we are not sure if the pictures will do it justice. I wont bore you with every animal we see but will set up a separate list if you are interested. Shortly Simon spots a Cheetah resting up. He is just lying out in the sun sleeping - not in the shade near any tree or undergrowth but right out in the open on the plain. This is so he can keep an eye out for predators (a word we are frequently hearing this holiday) and so he can keep an eye out for any likely dinner that might pass his way. He is very, very beautiful and surprise, surprise we are soon off track and not 6ft away from him. He is not bothered by us at all and we spend a while admiring his beauty
