Wild dogs! Painted wolf as it used to be called are a very rare sight in Kruger. There are reportedly only about 400 of them or less in the Kruger park. People have visited the park for years and never got a glimpse.
To see a group of them is a super bonus and equal to seeing the Big 5. I had the opportunity to be in the middle of the muddle with them one day and it is a red letter day for me.
They were obviously on a foraging party and running full tilt down the highway in the center of Kruger after a well deserved rest under a tree in mid summer.
Wild dogs can keep up a jog trot for hours and cover huge distances hunting across their territories.
in the video you can see one has a problem with his back foot and still running along and the pack waits now and then for him to come up since they are just scouting.
It's scenes like this that make my day worthwhile. and with Kruger you never know whats next around which corner. Up close and personal with wildlife. A rush you have to feel to understand.
Come and Explore Africa you gonna love it.
