It's astonishing!

I got that link today from a dear friend and have had a look at the pics at least 5 times.............it's too good to be true! But it IS TRUE!

We are flying off on Monday......can't wait........

Thanks for uploading!

I think those photos have been tampered with in photoshop. All except the last. You can see it clearly in the outlines. Does an impala really have a smile?

Honey's boys can bring down a wildebeest, so they may not think it's worth it to kill a young impala. Given what we saw in the Mara with a lion cub playing with a newborn waterbuck for almost an hour, I know it's possible.

SV, where are you staying? Divewop will be headed to the Mara soon, too.

Seems tampered with except for the shadows of the impala on the ground. But with those full tummies, maybe the boys did recently eat and weren't up for dessert! Lucky Bambi

Honey's boys have got to be older than 18/months. When I saw them early June '08 that were already a year old. They can be other triplets!

Shakira's cubs are about 18 months old now I think, but they are girls!

The Boys are about 3 years old now.

Could happen. But if the experts say it's Photoshop, that could happen too.

On BBC Big Cat Diary I've seen cheetah -cubs- play with gazelle calf and the calf escape.
What makes me wonder about these photos is the length of the shadows on numbers 2 and 3. Must have been considerable difference in time between those shots, maybe 2 hours. And I doubt if cheetahs or calf would hang around and play that long.

We are first going to TAZ and then to MM staying at Kicheche Mara Camp - YES despite all the additional fees it's still a MUST (regrettably bush is full at our dates ).
