The fastest on four legs

It was in the region of the Madusadona on the south shore of lake Kariba, when we witnessed the chase. Unfortunately it happened so fast and was a bit too far for decent pictures.
With lightening speed the Cheetah brought down an Impala, dragged it into the underbrush and hid it well. For the longest while it lay there and surveyed the surroundings. We had driven  to within telephoto lens distance and eventually the Cheetah accepted us as non threatening. Finally, when it was sure that there was no immediate danger from other carnivores, it dragged its catch from its hiding place and started to feast. 

I took many pictures and my guide shot some great videos.
Here are just three of the images.
