Description
During the second of my trips to Kenya’s Laikipia Province last year, we were treated to multiple encounters with the local wild dog pack (which had been absent during my first visit). The previous year I’d had some amazing luck with this endangered species in Zambia, but we still found new ways to see and photograph them this time. That was aided in part by the fact that one is allowed to get out of the safari vehicle with the dogs in this particular area.
So when the pack was busy hunting down dik-diks (with a very high success rate), I was already out of the car when they decided to cross the river. Wild dogs aren’t terribly comfortable around water, being wary of crocs and hippos, but this river was croc-free, and they were obviously still hungry (even four dik-diks only feed so many mouths). I was fortunate to be standing on a high part of the river bank when they went to the water, so I immediately switched to my wide lens to capture what was for me a unique image of this species.
