I was at the lodge yesterday, working on some emails, when suddenly Gerrard ran in and said that Jonathan was watching the wild dogs with all our guests! They had found them about 100 yards from the lodge, right next to the river. They were very relaxed, and it was obvious they had made a kill nearby. How exciting!
Gerrard rushed over to take a look at them as well, and took some lovely pics with his phone camera. See them below!
Wild dogs are the rarest and most endangered of all predators in Africa (only 3000 specimen left in the wild), so to see them here regularly, and doing so well, is beyond amazing. It is an experience that is akin to an honor that not even many safari buffs will ever experience. Many rangers out there have never seen any in their lives! This is as exciting as it gets for safari connoisseurs.
Enjoy the photos, they are true gems of a very special sighting.
