Almost the first game drive that I took this year, we found a Serval in the long grass near the old airstrip. Not commonly seen in this area, they are more at home in open grassy plains, which aren’t in abundance here. Their huge ears and fantastic sense of smell allow them to hunt rodents in the long grass, pouncing on them from several yards away. They’re also famous for hunting Guinea Fowl, sometimes jumping high into the air to pull one down as the birds make a clumsy attempt to take to the air.
