I only had one wild dog sighting so far, but this one was brilliant. 21 dogs on the S25

Wow, great sighting. I have never been lucky with dogs on the S25, but I believe that it can produce brilliant dog sightings

WOW! WOW! FC. Do you have pics of the interlude between the dogs and lions?



Tar road between Skukz and Nkulu and tar road near Afsaal. Also on the Sweni gravel road. \O

Poplap, unfortunetely I have no pics with dogs and lions because the dogs saw the lions from a distance of 50 meters and decided to reverse. Then the lions changed from one side of the road to the other one and one lioness walked into a Impala baby. The poor thing got the worse end after all the interaction.

FC, very sad to read about the baby impala, but boy, oh boy, that must have been one heck of a sighting! Wild dogs and lions en route to a head-on collision, and a kill to top it all. Eisch. (And believe you me, I'm the first to :cry: when I witness a kill on TV or the FEW times in real life. And I know all about 'eat of be eaten', but I still feel sad. But what a sighting!

Goldenboy saw WD 4 times in one day over the school holidays three weeks ago, typically!

The same big pack on the Pretoriuskop-Skukuza Tar road twice, if that counts.

Then a couple on the Faai loop and a couple on the Phabeni dirt road that afternoon!



To answer the question, the entire Southern section is fine....I saw my last few near Mpondo Dam...

And secondly the H-7 over the last few years!
