Male cheetah resting in the grass, Grumet Game Reserve, Serengeti, Tanzania

---

The rains early in the year in the Serengeti greens the landscape and gives rich grazing to the animals. This triggers the great migration of the herds of wildebeest and zebra from the south towards the north of the country. The Grumeti river floods in the heavy rains and sometimes becomes impassible, and the hippo pools fill up with water. After an active nights hunting a beautiful cheetah rests in the bushes at sunrise.
