BBC - Cheetah Family and Me (2021)

Gordon Buchanan gets close to wild cheetah in the stunning Kalahari, experiencing first hand the very real dangers these beautiful big cats face.

With the help of cheetah guides Richard Satekge and Julius Mkhize, this programme follows two cheetah mothers - Savannah and her four cubs in the Tswalu Kalahari Reserve, and Chili and her five kittens in the Great Karoo Wilderness - as they navigate a harsh environment, dangerous wildlife and dwindling prey.

Gordon follows cheetah mum Savannah and her remaining cubs at a critical point in their lives as they learn to hunt and survive the dangers of the Kalahari. Gordon catches up with cheetah expert and guide Richard Satekge, and together they follow Savannah's tracks. Gordon learns that cheetahs can endure the natural threats they face, such as a lack of prey and predator competition, but it is the man-made imbalances in their ecosystem that pose the biggest threat.
