Wild Dogs and Leopards
A Moving Day. We packed our luggage the previous night. Our luggage is going to be picked up at 7 am and trucked to our next lodge.
I am still struggling with a head cold.
We were up and moving at 5:05 am. I screwed up. For some reason, I got it in my head that we were going on the morning safari at 7 am rather than 6 am. Just before 6 am, Sharon realized that we needed to be out by 6 am. We got to the truck about 6:02 am.
It was a great morning. We came upon a pack of Wild African Dogs (4 adults and 10 puppies) feeding on a bushbuck. Interestingly, the adults let the pups eat first. Once the pups had their fill, the adults moved in and tore the remaining carass to pieces. The dogs have a lot energy.
One of the other trucks found leopard tracks. We ended up following a male leopard as he patrolled his territory. I continue to be amazed that the cats don't pay any attention to the trucks.
On the way back to the lodge, I got photos of two new animals: a black backed jackal and a Kudu.
We had scrambled egg corn tacos for breakfast.
Kevin and I both tried to update our blogs, but the wifi was bad. It has been pretty good over the first three days, but we weren't able to get anything done!
