Today, a grey day, we went to Letaba for brunch. About 15km before the camp we came across an adult female Cheetah sitting at the side of the road, totally unfazed by the car (1st Image). Then 3 large cubs, at least 1 a male, slowly appeared out of the Mopane scrub behind her (scroll R for 2 images of these). Unfortunately, a car approaching from the other side spooked them & they all run off into the bush. This was a very unusual sighting as Cheetahs are mostly solitary. The cubs are obviously big enough to go off on their own. There has been some rain but the grass hasn't grown much yet.
