After the long haul yesterday we didn’t get out last night to follow the lions and tried to catch up on some rest.
I was out early to check up on the wild dogs. They were east of Nhoro pan and all seemed just fine. Actually they allowed me even closer to them than I managed yesterday. So thankfully all the darting seems to have had little effect on them as far as their attitude towards me goes.
I left the dogs to search for the Nyari pride as I not only wanted to see what they’d been up to but I need to know where to find them when heading out filming tonight.
Manyari and Magwaza lying up at Nyari pan. They looked pretty alert but didn’t show any signs of moving off, not even when it began to rain. I took cover under an umbrella thorn and waited out the rain. It didn’t rain hard but was enough to soak most things.
The lions still had no plans on moving but I did and headed on to Banyini, Hwata pan and Bandama pan. In the overcast weather all was pretty quiet and so it was back to the lions. Still no change there and with no sign of the males, I went home.
I just watched planet earth, again, and saw an interview with a fellow in Tanzania I believe, who started a program to help wild dogs by vaccinating local dogs against rabies. Ever hear of this?
It’s so nice to see them be so affectionate!
