CHEATING THE CHEETAH - NAIROBI NATIONAL PARK'S CHEETAHS As I looked over the plains not far from the Hyena dam in the Nairobi National Park, near the fence a line of a herd of Kongoni was feeding. To their left, a whitish shape appeared in the long grass. The shape disappeared and then reappeared, then after looking through the binoculars, my heart leapt!!.....it was a cheetah!!!
