We found these cubs with mom twice on my late 2014 safari, but it was difficult to catch them all together in the open. Here we found the cubs on a mound with heavy brush shortly before they headed out into tall grass, where they became quite strung out. The female Cheetah eventually caught up with a couple of them before we left.. Canon EOS 1D IV, EF 70-200/2.8, f/7.1, 1/500, ISO 1000.

Lovely group shot -- it's great that one is making eye contact.

So nicely arranged with their different poses and hardly any overlap of bodies, what a lovely sight Bob! The mother must be doing a fantastic job keeping all five alive and fed. A wonderful family group and a shot anyone would be more than happy to have taken.
