The guys are getting some great sightings already Cool

Saw a clip on FB that Aatish posted, very heavy Rain

**whitestarling** Wed Apr 18, 2012 6:08 pm

Aatish updated yesterday with news of Notch, and co, Bahati, and Cheetahs plus rain of course

Despite the heavy rain the guys are getting to see so much. Rather hairy story about the Cheetah crossing the swelling river pale

thankfully there is a good ending :)

Great to hear they have seen Notch & his gang and they are all doing well feeding on a hippo.

Wonderful to hear that Bahati is doing very well independently. She's definitely got her mum Olive to thank for that, she has taught her little one well Masai Mara Safaris - Page 15 853843

The boys have been so lucky on their recent trip, fantastic cat sightings despite the rain.

What a wonderful photo of Bahati up the tree looking totally chilled, she looks to have really grown as well.

Notch II is just so like Notch !!!

And what a way to finish, Olive and the two little ones making an appearance, totally brilliant cheers

Got a message from Aatish today saying that both him and Aashit passed their KPSGA bronze guiding exam this morning so I'm sure that means they are now both qualified guides Masai Mara Safaris - Page 15 71418

**Laikipia** Wed May 30, 2012 2:25 pm

That is brilliant news. Well done to both of them, how fantastic.

Thanks for letting us know Doogs.

Lots of great photos and updates from the guys, sounds like they have been very lucky again with their sightings Cool

The boys arrived at the Intrepids a couple of days after we left so we didn't see them this visit. Their parents though were there at the same time as us and we knew who they were the minute we saw them as Aatish and Aashit are the spitting image of their dad ! Spoke to them on numerous ocassions, really nice people.

I managed to get a shot of Malaika on their vehicle so I'll have to post that on Aatish's FB Page. I was speaking to Aatish on the phone and he was jealous this happened to his parents and also to us as - can you believe that after all the times the boys have been out in the Mara they have never been lucky enough to have a cheetah on their vehicle Shocked

Me neither Doogs, although when you're on a horse that might be a good thing Masai Mara Safaris - Page 15 40683

On a sad note, Aatish posted this tonight on his FB Page :-

"It is very sad to confirm that the cheetah mum (Malaika) has lost one of her cubs this morning" Crying or Very sad
