Foiled Again!

If there is one animal that seems to be particularly adept at avoiding my camera, it is the cheetah at Kilimanjaro Safaris. My camera is always at the ready as we pass through the White Rhino area and head toward the home of the planet's fastest runner. But alas, even on this occasion when it looked like the stars were finally aligning for me, something caught their attention and the best I could get was the back of their heads.

Patience Pays Off

Perhaps the most difficult animals to photograph in all of Disney's Animal Kingdom are the big cats of Kilimanjaro Safari, the lions and especially the cheetahs.  You can ride on the truck through the attraction over and over again and never see anything more than what looks like a furry lump on the ground.

But every so often, especially if you go early in the day or just before sunset during the cooloer months of the year, you may just find the big cats on the prowl.  So always, always, always have your camera at the ready.  Unlike every other Disney attraction, Kilimanjaro Safari is unique each and every time you experience it and you never know what photo ops might come your way.
