"Anti-Poaching Dog Unit Visit review"
Based at Kicheche Laikipia on 30 Jan 2025
"We had a great time here.
We were each given a single bullet and told to drop it anywhere we wanted in a field. Then they brought out the search dog, and he found them both.
After that demonstration, they asked my wife to make a footprint in the moist dirt. They pressed a sterile pad into the print, then put the pad in a glass jar and asked my wife to go hide somewhere. She went behind some bushes near a distant tree line...at least 200 meters away. Then they brought out a tracking bloodhound (different than the search dog). After getting a smell of the pad in the glass jar, he had no trouble finding my wife. Amazing.
Be prepared to give a generous tip to the dog handlers." Read more about this whole safari
