I’m crouched behind a bush in the middle of Ol Pejeta Conservancy, no not for that… I’m waiting to see how long it will be before Otis finds me. This sizeable bloodhound was given my scent just minutes before, and now he’s bounding in a line straight towards me.
He’s one of a K9 unit at Ol Pejeta, a private wildlife conservancy in Laikipia Plateau, in the shadow of Mount Kenya. Among the rest of his crew are more bloodhounds and Dutch Malinois – they’re a friendly group, running around exuberantly as we spend time earlier in their enclosure learning about the work of the anti-poaching unit, one of the first private conservancy dog units in Kenya.
