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.
Cresting a rise between Satara and Orpen one morning we came across a group of at least twelve African Wild Dogs (I much prefer to call them Painted Wolves!) crisscrossing the road and running into and out of the veld. They were clearly excited and were probably out on a hunt, as they didn’t stick around for long before heading into the veld again and out of sight. Wild Dogs are among the most endangered of Africa’s large predators and this brief sighting, our only one of the trip, was a definite highlight.
If you’d like to join me on a guided tour of South Africa’s wild places, of even if you’d just like a bit of help putting your reservations together, don’t hesitate to reach out!
