Exciting update from Glenn David McCarthy and Carol McCarthy safari in Zambia .

"Well OMG, as mentioned previously we searched yesterday morning for the Jeki - Wild Dog pack but missed finding them, so of course it was a 530am take off this morning to try again, and find them we did. The pack of 19 Wild Dogs we found huddled together waiting for the opportunity to hunt, as they have pups back in the den a few kilometres away.
We sat patiently watching the pack as they had their eyes fixed on a group of Impala feeding in the scrub. The Alpha female (the leading dog) snuck forward of the pack and as a whole group in formation crouch and stalk the Impala before bursting into speed, impala, dogs and dust goes in all directions. A few moments later the wild dogs had killed an Impala and just about had it completely eaten when we arrived on the scene.
They had a feed although not enough for the entire pack, when their ears pricked up and they turned to the thicket of scrub behind them. Then a beautiful male lion burst through the scrub, the dogs took off signing alarm calls and the lion grabbed the remaining bits of impala.
The dogs continued to hunt again after a drink of water. We left them be as they wandered back to the den perhaps hunting on the way and return to feed the pups.
An amazing sighting and one that will stay with all of us forever. What incredible wildlife sightings we are having, pinch myself moments every day. "

Our Zamag team recently explored the Remote Africa Collection’s bush camps in North of the South Luangwa and North Luangwa National Park. These camps, crafted from natural materials, offer true immersion in nature. A favorite was Big Lagoon, just across the river from Tafika in the national park, where wildlife is often right outside your tent. This walking-only camp lets you experience the wilderness up close, with the option to walk between camps like Chikoko. Perfect for those seeking an authentic and serene safari adventure.

After wrapping up a thrilling walking safari with Daph and Lisa, Glen and Carol McCarthy welcomed their Australian clients to Zambia for an unforgettable safari adventure. Starting with a restful night at Lilayi Lodge in Lusaka to shake off the jet lag, they then explored the wonders of Musekese and Ntemwa in the Kafue National Park and then flew to South Luangwa National Park and had 4 nights in Lion Camp. Now, they’re off to Anabezi, and we can’t wait to see what incredible wildlife sightings await them in the Lower Zambezi! Here are a few snapshots from Glen, Carol, and their clients.

Glen and Carol McCarthy have had a few amazing sightings of leopard, lion and wilddog while they have been on safari in South Luangwa National Park in Zambia. Here are few pictures and a note from Glen.

"As most of you know my favourite African animal is the endangered Wild Dog, also known as Cape Hunting Dog and Painted Wolf. Approx 7000 left so it is certainly a great privilege to witness them on any safari, but to see a wild dog pack with pups is just the best. Yes they are the most successful predator in Africa but they are also very vulnerable and all other predators such as lions, leopard, hyena all compete with them and all want to kill them, plus of course the loss of habitat and human disturbance and farmers that see them as a threat to livestock..
Anyway, some footage of this special encounter.. lets hope we see them again next year if they are successful with this litter of seven gorgeous pups.
Thanks to our amazing guides, Mukupa C Zulu, Simon and Donald for creating this awesome sighting." - Glenn David McCarthy

South Luangwa National Park in Zambia is renowned for its leopard sightings, and nature often delivers brilliant moments if you're in the right place at the right time. Unfortunately, we don't have any photos, but Christie had an incredible experience on a night drive in the Nsefu sector. Within 30 minutes, she saw three leopards. It began with a young female on a mission to hunt. Not wanting to disturb her, they moved on and soon heard loud crunching noises. Shining the torch up a mopani tree, they found another leopard eating a baboon, with hyenas waiting below for scraps. Moments later, a big female leopard with cubs in the area climbed the tree, chased the younger leopard off the kill, and claimed it for herself. The young leopard waited for the hyenas to leave, then calmly walked past the vehicle, so close they could have touched her.
