On Thursday Kingston has to travel to the local town, Serenje to attend court. When a scout apprehends a poacher and they are charged than the scout must testify. This takes several months so they don’t know when they will be summoned. The area warden of the Zambian Wildlife Authority has sent a new scout to replace him for a few days. His name is Eston. He came early so Kingston can show him what to do.
The three of us went out this afternoon. It was fantastic to watch Kingston talk to Eston about the baboons. He explained that baboons are NEVER boring. Even when you are out aloe there is always something to watch. I hung back at just let Kingston do his thing. He showed Eston the sleeping groves, the main road crossing points (which he has named and I didn’t even know), how to use the GPS, and all about grooming. Kingston really takes pride in his job and he is great at it. It is fabulous to get to see how much he has learned.
