Thanks! It was Tanzania.

It was a group of 3 that made a kill. They just blocked the truck path, fat and panting without a care, then walked off into the sun across the Kenyan border.

Whoah! In the Serengeti? Super lucky to see them!

Serengeti park, yep.

Yeah, I was lucky by every definition… and have a “big cat” meme folder to reach into now.

Thank you for sharing the excellent shots with us. I love cheetahs. I was lucky to come across two cubs when I travelled there way back in 2012. I couldn't catch them on my camera though since there were so small.
