Wild Dog at sunrise

The next day started early before sunrise. All morning game drives at Erindi start with coffee at the restaurant before heading out into the reserve at 6am. The sight from the restaurant balcony got me jumping with excitement - the pack of African Wild Dogs were play fighting in the distance and, before long, came down to the lake overlooked by where we stood. A group of Blue Wildebeest (apparently their collective noun is known as gnu) had come down to the lake to drink. The dogs, rather than in full hunting mode, seemed to be teasing them by strolling into the group and then running away when a Wildebeest gave chase. They did this a few times before giving up and moving out of sight.
