Up on the Roof

This Cheetah took advantage of the extra hight for scanning from our rear luggage rack.

It was to close (around 6 feet) for the 200-400mm , so I grabbed my"wide angle" and stood up through the open roof.

Tahen in Southern Serengeti.

It left nearly as quickly as it arrived

This is on my bucket list. I would love to experience a Cheetah this close. It must have been a thrill. I would try to lighten the Cheetah a bit. Nice catch.
