Nancy McDaniel has been kind enough to share some highlights and the incredible sightings she had at Tena Tena:
“My third day at Tena Tena Camp dawned beautifully, as usual, crisp, clear and vibrant. Sounds of the bush welcomed me, and breakfast was the awesome “bush toast” carefully prepared by our host. Raring to go and get out to see what we could, we packed up, and once everyone was ready, off we went. Less than 5 minutes away from camp, our guide got a radio call of an exciting sighting right near camp. So back we went to see. The other vehicle said they had just seen a pack of Painted Dogs but they had moved on, slightly disappointed we turned round to continue our drive when once again another call… They’re back. So back we went, first spotting a group of nervous elephants and a lone hyena.
And then we saw them! A stunning pack of 15 wild dogs! What a treat to see so many, healthy-looking wild dogs out in the open in the daylight.
We stayed with them a while and regretfully left to see what other sightings we could find. Less than half an hour later in the distance, we spotted two leopard heads in the grass. We stopped and then it happened.
A hyena dashed out, tearing after the leopard cub. Mom immediately gave chase to the hyena, while the cub nimbly leapt into the safety of a tree. It all happened so fast and was so exciting we almost couldn’t believe what we were seeing!”
