Part of the joy of being in the bush is the lack of people.
It’s just you and the natural order of the world unfolding without human interference.
One might say it’s the serenity, to quote from the Australian classic, The Castle.
There are plenty of videos of traffic jams in the Kruger National Park. No matter the time of year, you’re going to spot plenty of other cars on the road.
However, I have never seen anything that even closely resembles this video from Kenya.
We don’t know where exactly it was filmed but comments point towards the Masai Mara National Reserve. Strap in, because this is outrageous:

Wow. Just wow.
I get that guides want their guests to be as close to the action as possible and rely on tips to pay the bills, but this is disgusting.
All future safari visitors to Africa- this is not ok. You have the power, as the tourist, to stop this poor and disgusting behaviour. Do not endorse this behaviour-these guides do not deserve a tip,rather a ban. https://t.co/gHTLGZN1fY

Perhaps the most worrying part is how unfazed these cheetahs appear, presumably because they’ve grown used to vehicles handbrake-turning mere metres from them to score the best view.
Is this what safari holidays have now been reduced to? Sies, man.
