Kakenya is one of the more successful cheetahs in the Mara. Having already successfully raised four cubs to independence she has proven herself as mother, provider and protector. Yet being a cheetah is not easy, constantly on the run from larger predators, Kakenya faces the gauntlet of survival every day. Don't miss safariLIVE: The Gauntlet, Friday 11 pm EDT on Nat Geo WILD. You can also catch safariLIVE: The Gauntlet and safariLIVE: Overtime on the safariLIVE YouTube channel as well as natgeo.com/Safarilive.
