Famous cheetah dies in Maasai Mara

Wildlife enthusiasts and stakeholders in the tourism sector are in mourning following the tragic end of the famous and most photographed cheetah named Kisaru aka Nalangu, in the Maasai Mara Game Reserve.

The female cheetah, whose name loosely translates to 'rescue' and 'crossing over' is one of the most cherished sightings of the Mara after she defied the odds and raised six cubs through their first year. Typically, cheetahs lose cubs to predators.
