wanyama of the serengeti: part 1 (the carnivores)

funny thing. "nyama" means meat (nondescript). So to say animals is to say 'meats' ('wanyama') - its like the tanzanians view all of these guys as walking lunch.

and at least a few of these cats sure considered some wanyama for lunch for themselves.
(poor gazelle, but hungry cheetah)
we saw numerous lions stalking and chasing their prey - but no kills in action

(here we arrived post-meal, the lions were thirsty... and tired)
we saw a few sleepy leopards too (hiding way up in those trees):

to finish off, i provide you with an action sequence of a lioness hunting zebra (unsuccessfully):
post run, someone was a little tired:
