The Mara has lost another legend. Winda, a 10-year-old member of the famous Tano Bora coalition, took his final breath on the morning of Saturday, March 15, 2025. After breaking his leg, he was treated, but despite all efforts, he succumbed to his injuries six days later. At his age, the toll of pain proved too much to bear.
Winda’s story is one of resilience. As a part of Tano Bora, once the most formidable cheetah coalition in the Mara, he defied the odds for a decade, a rare feat for a male cheetah in the wild. He lived through battles, shifting alliances, and the loss of his brothers. Now, only one remains, Olonyok, the last of the five.
With Winda’s passing, an era ends. But his legacy, along with that of his coalition, will live on in the whispers of the Mara’s golden grasslands.
Run free, Winda. You were one of a kind.
