Eye contact of the cheetah kind.

This image was the conclusion of one of the most exciting experiences I ever had in the Okavango Delta. The tracker on our vehicle spotted the remains of a dead animal on the road, but wasn't sure how it had died because he couldn't see any tracks. Not satified with not knowing the answer he wandered off for about fifteen minutes and returned saying that it was a cheetah, and it had taken off away from the road into the bush. With that, the ranger followed the tracker's directions stopping every now and again to provide a commentary on what the cheetah was doing and where he was going. "Look he has stopped here, lay down for a while, sat up, swished his tail and moved off this way." For a good 45 minutes we followed the spoor until we saw him, under a bush and watching our every move. It was an amazing thrill to actually track an animal and find it - such a feeling anticipation and not knowing if we are going to locate it.
