A hippo might kill a zebra but its very unlikely for a hippo to eat it. Hippos are plant eaters and they dont tend to eat meat. However, there are some rare incidents of hippos scavenging over dead wildebeest and buffalo

If they come across a dead elephant that isn't to rotten then of course there is no way a Cheetah or any other big cat would pass up a meal they didn't have to work for.

But as for Cheetah's running down and killing an Elephant? No, this does not occur.

Hippos are the third largest land animal on Earth. They are also so aggressive and strong that they can kill crocodiles, and lions almost never hunt them. Cheetahs are not strong enough to hunt a hippo.

Oh sure.

It'd have to catch it first, then hope that there are no stronger predators (lions, hyenas, leopards) around to steal its kill.

no a cheetah will not even try to catch a giraffe as they are way to big and strong and with a meal that big it would easily attract predators from every where.

Cheetahs have been known to take baby giraffes that have become separated from their mothers. However, it would be impossible for them to take down an adult giraffe

No, elephants are not in the diet of a cheetah.

A cheetah would have problems even taking down even a young rhino, much less an adult.
