Chapter 20
Mia, Bongani and Sara drove to the Vulture system headquarters.
They were quiet on the drive, all of them reflecting on what had gone on with the lioness and her cubs. When they arrived, they got out and went through the process of a handover with the two volunteers from a neighbouring lodge who were sharing the manning of the array of high-tech monitoring systems.
The departing men had seen nothing of interest. Bongani volunteered to make tea and coffee while Mia and Sara each sat in front of a double-screen work station.
Mia scrolled through the log of confirmed intercepts. She noted elephant, buffalo, giraffe, an array of buck and, of more interest, several rhino sightings. She pointed the listing out to Sara. ‘Three white rhinos travelling together.’
‘Is that unusual?’
