it is a South African Crowned Crane (Balearica regulorum)

You may check this (dutch) site (to which I contributed most=20
bird pages) for a reference of the two species of crowned crane.

Note the different patterns of red and white on the cheeks
and the color of the neck

The grey crowned crane (Balearica regulorum) is a bird in the crane family Gruidae. It occurs in dry savannah in Africa south of the Sahara, although it nests in somewhat wetter habitats. They can also be found in marshes, cultivated lands and grassy flatlands near rivers and lakes in Uganda and Kenya and as far south as South Africa.
