After playing around with my video footage from Guyana yesterday, I decided to take a look back at what I captured in Africa last June. Turns out I had the camera rolling more often than I thought, especially in regards to this family of cheetahs we encountered each of the four days we were in Samburu National Reserve in Kenya. It was fun to cobble a few of the clips together, mostly from our final morning in the park. Nikon Z8, 4K, 120 fps, f/5.6 at 1/250th of a second.
Despite the fact that cheetahs are the fastest land animals, your footage reveals that they also take time to smell the roses as they play with each other, remain seated while surveying their environs & they are able to plop down just as Joe Sixpack might do in his LazyBoy Recliner. Lovely snippets of filming, Sean!
SO fun to see the kits at play. Oh, to be a little cheetah with not a care in the world. Mom, on guard, knows better. A real treat to see the video, Sean.

I just love the liquid like movement of the cheetahs. It’s so effortless . This brief video was such a treat.
Thanks Mom. They are quite graceful in their movements.
Nice!
Thanks Anne.
Great footage and they’re such beautiful creatures!
Thanks Honora. I agree, they are very graceful in their movements.
So cute, so playful, and such big tails!
Ha, no doubt. Thanks Mo.
So cute! What a fun morning!
Thanks Andy, it certainly was. I love when they just go about their business as if we aren’t even there.

That plop down moment got a good laugh from all in our vehicle.

Thanks Laura. I have a few more clips from another day with the cheetahs playing. I’ll have to post soon.
What a great video, and your selection of music was perfect!!
