Cheetah Rumble
by Morkel Erasmus
The Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park has to be one of the premier wilderness areas in Africa to observe and photograph cheetah. The arid climate and open terrain makes for great hunting grounds and the population has flourished here in the last few years. These 2 young cubs were playing around as mom was busy stalking some springbok for a potential meal.
Equipment: Nikon D3s, Nikkor 500mm f4 VR-II, Nikkor 1.4x teleconverter

I have always been amazed by the natural beauty in the landscape, wildlife and bird-life of Southern Africa. Picking up a camera has just enhanced that appreciation and pushed me to further explore the wild places left in my native homeland. Join me on my website/blog, on Facebook and on 500px as I share my experiences with you!
An Industrial Engineer by profession, and an accomplished artist across many genres, from music to poetry, I have always enjoyed whatever allows me to express my creativity to the fullest. Photography turned out to be the perfect 'marriage' between my engineering brain and artistic soul. Showing off God's glorious creation is something I enjoy immensely.
