Objective Data

These figures come from our month-by-month model for cheetah in each park, based on documented seasonal patterns: migration timing, rainfall and breeding cycles. They show when you are most likely to see the animal — they are not a tally of individual sightings.

Monthly Trends

Season matters. In many parks animals concentrate around water in the dry months, which is why the monthly curve varies so strongly.
