Meet the cheetahs

Saffron

Saffron was first seen as a cub in April 2004 with her sisters Eddie & Patsy. She is not a cheetah that is often sighted and had never been seen with cubs, however thanks to a Cheetah Watch contributor we now know that she is currently looking after her first young cub! When she is sighted it is usually in the Ndutu area ranging from the big marsh, Makao road, Twin hills and Caracle plateau.

Saffron was last seen in July 2010.
