Browns in Kruger September 2019

[Pumbaa]

Thanks so much Bushcraft,

for an amazing trip report - That last hyena / wild dog sequence is brilliantly captured and you had it all alone

Your leopard sightings are always outstanding - I wish I will have your luck one day

And totally right when in the park the time passes by sooooo quickly

Once again thanks a lot and until the next time and greetings to your ladies

[Bushcraft]

Great interaction between the dogs and hyenas

The dogs were wondering what the SP vehicle was doing on the bridge

Thanks for sharing your 2000 leopard report with us

Shot Alf, I wish your leopard count was correct though

Ja, the car's a kak colour, but it works in KNP

[Bushcraft]

Fantastic action!!! I wouldn't have thought wild dogs would take on hyenas!

Another great trip! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Flutts

We have seen wild dogs take on hyena in KNP before and once at Imfolozi, but every time there were more dogs than hyena

[Bushcraft]

Thanks for sharing another Browns trip with us all

As usual a phenomenal number of predators

When's the next trip?

Thanks PJL

Ya, plenty predators to be seen in August/September in our experience

Next trip Work issues, Hawkeyes starts Varsity, finances, etc so KNP may have to be put on ice for awhile

[Bushcraft]

Wow, Doggies and Hyenas in a disagreement

A major disagreement

The dogs bullied the hyena, probably due to their numbers

[Bushcraft]

The hyenas are not cowards at all, and I think the screaming is to call for reinforcements. They are very organised and successful, but totally numbers-oriented.

Smashing shots, lovely the one of the hyenas coming then running!

Thank you so much again, Bushy. Your reports are not just a feast for the eyes but really well-written and entertaining!

Thanks RP

Ja, screaming for backup We have seen dogs push hyena around a few times, but always when the dogs have the numbers

Entertaining I write what happens, so we must be a faulty family

[Bushcraft]

What a way to end a trip!!! Lions on top of it Only the leopard missing

Interesting to see how that one wild dog eyed you intensly

And what is that bird that shared the puddle with the shrieking hyena
and still being totally nonchalant about the commotion around it?

for taking the time to share your trip with us. A pleasure as always.
And we're used to your speed by now anyways

Thanks Mel

It was a good end to our trip The hamerkop in the puddle ignored the commotion

I hope it wasn't posted too fast

[Bushcraft]

The picture turned around when the dogs started to attack the hyenas. Funny to see hyenas afraid, usually they only take a bit of a distance. Maybe being only two of them

A few bye bye lions. You certainly did not leave the park "empty-handed" this time

Thanks for taking the trouble to share the trip with us in order to make us all

to the Cow and the Rats and of course to "il bello biondo platino"

Thanks Lisbeth

The hyena were outnumbered so they headed for the hills and a puddle

I'm not sure about the "il bello" part, but correct on the "biondo platino" part

It was a good trip, probably our 2nd/3rd best Kruger trip ever, I just wish that we had found cheetah also

Time in Kruger passes way too quickly and I wish I could spend more time in the park each year, but I assume many feel the same
