What do cheetahs get up to?

Whilst on safari in northern Botswana, Gabriel and his clients watch an adult cheetah, he later calls Charlie, walking along in the bush. Later, in his tent, Gabriel wonders to himself what a cheetah might do during a typical day on the savannah. He imagines Charlie meeting many other species of animals and birds, eventually going to the exciting ostrich races with his brother and sister.

At the end of Charlie's "day", when the races have finished, Gabriel imagines all three cheetahs settling down on the river bank to watch the sunset and listen to the sounds of their home, Africa.
