Madikwe Safari Lodge is situated in the heart of the richly diverse and malaria-free 76 000-hectare (187 800-acre) Madikwe Game Reserve – one of South Africa’s biggest wildlife sanctuaries. Famed for Operation Phoenix, the world’s largest game translocation exercise with the introduction of more than 8 000 animals, Madikwe’s diverse geology and broad mix of habitats allows a wide range of African wildlife to flourish – including the Big Five, cheetah and a thriving population of wild dog.
wild dogs scavanging
wild dogs are one of the most successful hunters in the african bush.
The other day we went down to a giraffe carcass where 7 lions had been feeding. On arrival we realised that the lions had moved off and the wild dogs had taken over as oppotunistic scavangers. this was a great sighting watching the dogs feed and rest.
