Serengeti in Tanzania, Africa. We were following these two cheetah brothers for more than 10 hours, waiting for some action. During the morning hours they were walking around and resting. They seemed very hungry. Around noon it was so hot that they were sleeping in the shadow of a tree and we waited patiently. Around 16hrs they were getting active and were investigating a big herd of Wildebeest in the distance and got closer. All of a sudden one of the cheetah ran into the herd. The other cheetah was approaching from the opposite direction and they attacked this Wildebeest. It took more than 15 before they managed to kill the adult Wildebeest. Out of nowhere a group of 10 Hyena approached and in a second they have stolen the kill. The poor cheetah brothers did all the work, but unfortunately didn’t get any piece of meat.
