  • African wild dogs are one of Africa’s most fascinating predators, and encountering them in the wild is always something special. We’re incredibly fortunate to have a pack that frequents the area around Ximuwu, which means, if luck is on our side, our guests are treated to some truly unforgettable encounters. Quiet, focused and always on the move, there’s nothing quite like watching a pack of wild dogs make their way through the bush. #wilddogs #accessibletravel #wheelchairtravel #africansafari
