For the past two days I have been the only ranger on game drive on the eastern side of Kapama Game Reserve, but luckily sightings were as impressive as always. We had a female cheetah eating on a baby nyala kill, elephants, rhino, buffalo and the pride of lions together. Also the resident male lion put on an impressive display serenading us with deafening roars a mere five meters away! General game sightings included kudu, waterbuck, impala, duiker, giraffe, zebra and a host of birds including vultures. One thing I saw stands out and that was two Hamerkop birds in an apparent courtship display with one hopping onto the back of the other and flapping its wings! Indeed a very relaxed few days!
