The Tax Man Cometh A Cheetah s Hard Earned Meal Hijacked

It’s that time of year at Londolozi where the air smells like fermenting fruit, and the elephants have officially lost their manners. We start this morning with a five-ton bull who decided a Marula tree looked better horizontal than vertical—calculated destruction at its finest.

From the heavy-hitters, we move to the high-speed drama of a male cheetah. Sightings of these cats are rare enough, but watching a successful hunt unfold is another level of intensity. However, in the bush, catching your meal is only half the battle. Enter: the local "tax men."

We wrap up the day by slowing things down at a waterhole, losing ourselves in the quiet, hypnotic world of African Jacana chicks and Moorhen families until the sun hits the horizon.
