Yet another amazing week of sightings here at GVI Karongwe. We welcomed a new group of volunteers this week and after an orientation and a good nights sleep we got them out on their first research drive. Some of the volunteers got to experience a leopard in a tree with an impala kill on their first time out on the reserve...not a bad start!!
Other great sightings of the cheetah brothers and our female cheetah made two kills during the week. The lions made their way back to the boma to check up on the females and continue to impress the vols with great visuals and incredible audio! Here's to another wonderful week in the bush at GVI Karongwe!
