DeWetsWild conducted a two-week tour of the Kruger National Park with altogether nine people to see out 2025 and ring in 2026 and every day for the month of February I’ll be sharing just a few of the many memories our group collected.

The Kruger National Park has a large population of spotted hyenas, and they often use culverts underneath the main roads as dens. This means that visitors are very likely to encounter families of hyenas on the road in the early morning when they reunite after a night of foraging and before they retire for the hotter part of the day.
