Cheetah dawn, Kidepo Nat Park- Uganda

[marc]

One of less than a dozen or so cheetah that remain in Uganda, and are now only found in the beautiful Kidepo National Park on the remote northern border with Sudan.
It's taken me 3 visits spanning 39 years to find my first Ugandan cheetah, and boy what an amazing morning finding this male up early looking for Reedbuck and Cob.
