Written by Assistant Manager Action Kehusitswe -
It was late afternoon around 1830 last week, Action and Banaki were in the office doing their usual duties at Savute and waiting for the guests to return from their game drive when Lodge Manageress Banaki started screaming! As Action turned around he saw a pack of wild dogs chasing a fully grown female kudu close to the office! It then sprinted through the dining room and bar and down the pathway to Room number one hotly pursued by four wild dogs. The kill took place behind the deck of number one and three of the wild dogs left one behind to go and collect the other pack of four. They fed on it all night and then stayed around the lodge for two days – what an amazing experience for our guests!
We are seeing an amazing increase of Wild Dog activity in and artound Savute Safari Lodge and if this is an indicator to the quality of game viewing so early in the season, we are very excited about what the dry months will deliver this year.
Once before a kudu was chased by wild dog right into the office and it was slipping on the smooth floor tiles – (now at Chobe Game Lodge) Manageress, Tania Bruwer, was trapped inside for a couple of minutes until the Kudu managed to get up and escape!
