Dogs are imperative in anti-poaching efforts and each dog at Ol Pejeta's K9 unit has a different specialty – from tracking the scent of a poacher, to detecting ammunition and attacking and detaining potential suspects.
Join Ol Pejeta’s K9 unit for a thrilling and interactive ‘dog tracking’ activity. Here, you will mingle with one of wildlife’s friendly protectors, the bloodhounds.
Known for their strong scent tracking abilities, visitors are encouraged to run and hide from the sniffer dogs who will seek them out. The exercise will be repeated with visitors at the other end of another dog’s leash. This time, you will watch the hounds in action tracking the scent trail of a pretend poacher.
Not only is this great fun for you, but will also keep the dogs' skills in sharp shape.
You can watch a vlog on how exciting this activity is above (from 5:19)
This two-hour-long activity starts at 8.30 am from the Morani Information Centre. We recommend that clients wear closed shoes and carry sunscreen and a hat. Clothing should be of neutral color.
