KPNR K9 UNIT - A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE IN THE AFRICAN BUSH

The use of working dogs (K9’s) in support of wildlife protection endeavours is well recognized across the World.Wildlife conservation dogs are deployed to perform two primary functions, firstly substance detection and secondly to track and pursue fugitives or criminal elements. These qualities are unique to highly trained and skilled K9/handler units and cannot be substitut- ed by humans or other technology.The KPNR K9 experience forms part of a fundraising initiative in support of the KPNR K9 Unit’s sustainability, care-and safety of our K9 dogs. It also demonstrates the important function of the K9 pack-units (dogs and handlers) within the security-and conservation frameworks of the reserve.This offers guests the unique opportunity to be part of the action during a K9 demonstration of the endangered species K9 detection- or tracking pack-units, while detecting contraband substances or tracking down “suspects” while being part of our K9 tracking pack-unit.
