Cheetah in Kruger National Park — A Complete Guide

Cheetahs are the only big cat that hunts by day in Kruger, pursuing prey at speeds up to 110 km/h across open ground. Kruger holds a stable population of 500–700 individuals, making it one of the continent's strongest cheetah populations. Sightings are more reliable than leopards but less frequent than lions or elephants. From Hoedspruit, dry-season morning drives in the S100 area around Satara offer the best cheetah-viewing probability.
