The Rare Cheetah In The Nairobi National Park We awoke very early and entered the park just after 06h00. I decided to slowly head down towards the Athi Basin via the western boundary. We drove slowly and eventually arrived at the Ololo murram heaps, just as we began to move back towards the main road I saw a rapidly approaching dust cloud in the distance. I realized that this dust cloud was indeed a number of vehicles driving towards us, then suddenly the vehicles emerged from the dusty cloud, it was a convoy of five 4x4 vehicles. There was no doubt in my mind that these people were also looking for the recently seen cheetah family.
