One hyena on the prowl is fabulous to see but when you spot a whole clan lazing about you realize their unique beauty.
Guide Kalisti Paul caught this African wild dog on camera - the dogs are always popular and often present in the Manze area. The Selous holds the largest number of this species - Lycaeon pictus - in the world.
