Guests at Camp Moremi experienced an incredible sighting on Friday afternoon.
During Friday’s siesta, some of our guests were enjoying a panoramic view of the lagoon from our viewing deck. Suddenly the peace was shattered as a bushbuck came hurtling through the grounds, running at full speed across the grass.
The guests were a little surprised as the bushbucks at Camp Moremi tend to favour tiptoeing across the grass rather than bolting over it. Just as they were wondering what was up, the camp managers called them across to the parking area where a pack of Wild Dogs had just passed. Unfortunately, by the time the guests made their way across the lawn the dogs had vanished.
Not wanting our guests to miss the opportunity of seeing these beautiful and endangered creatures, the camp managers quickly organised vehicles and the guests left on an early game drive. They caught up with the Wild Dogs almost immediately, and had an incredible experience as they followed them while they weaved in and out of the bush.
It was quite clear that the dogs were following a scent, and it wasn’t long before a startled impala leapt out from behind a bush. The Wild Dogs then did what Wild Dogs do best, bringing down the impala in a heartbeat and making short work of it; an astonishing end to an unbelievable day.
