The African Wild Dog is one of the most captivating animals to spot while visiting Botswana.
Known for their unique coat patterns and social behavior, these magnificent animals can often be seen in the Okavango Delta region and Moremi Game Reserve. Their distinctive large, rounded ears serve multiple purposes: they help with excellent hearing, facilitate communication within the pack, and dissipate heat during warm days. As apex predators, they thrive in large packs and display exceptional hunting skills. Their agility allows them to reach speeds of up to 70 km/h.
Joining a safari with expert guides enhances your chances of witnessing these incredible animals in their natural habitat.
