Our guides witnessed the thrilling pursuit of a kudu by four wild dogs. As the pack began feeding, a leopard suddenly emerged from the tall grass, chasing the dogs off their kill. The wild dogs initially fled but soon realised it was just a leopard. They quickly turned back, attacked it, and forced it up a tree. After the dogs finished feeding, the leopard descended to reclaim the carcass, but the determined dogs returned, dragging the kill away.
