I see a problem. How did Chris take a picture of himself holding his camera?
I suppose it's possible that he was laying in the grass taking pictures of wildlife, and decided to set up another camera on a tripod that was aimed at himself holding his camera...just in case something like this happened. A cheetah happened to walk up to him and lay down. Then Chris happened to have some sort of remote trigger to capture the moment. What luck!
He was even able to change the point of view of the second camera, while this wild cheetah patiently posed for photos.
Edit: further reading reveals that Chris has an explanation. He captured it with a remote device?
The cat has a collar. This isn't some random wild animal.
Although, of course, you never take all the wild out of one and they can turn at any provocation.

So, in other words, don't try to play "get the belly" with her?
Since it is a reserve, I'm sure it is just for tracking purposes. She still fends for herself. She just was looking for some company. Guessing she already had her meal for the day.
What an incredible experience it must have been.
Many a pussycat has captured a man by using such tactics. Snuggle, purr, snuggle, purr, snuggle....GOTCHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"The 39-year-old from Germany used a remote device to capture the shot of him working as a photographer beside the wild big cat. The gorgeous female Cheetah, named Mtombi, is tame to the camp but still runs wild and hunts for herself."
It's just a big ol' puddy tat. She knows all those guys have a "Slim Jim" in their pocket for her.
I think it is true, Leopards have been tamed!

The early Egyptians kept leopards and cheetahs as house pets for a long time. It's still a common practice in several parts of Africa.
