Korporal Muhenje has been hunting for the Burchell family for over 20 years.

Weighing 70 pounds and standing hip height, Riley is not your “typical” tracking dog. He was bred from a pack of hunting hounds in South Africa during the covid pandemic. From running down wounded gemsbuck to taking cold blood trails, Riley has proven to be a major asset to Burchell-Wolf Safaris over the years.

Short in stature and a cute little face, don’t let Tana fool you. She is a varicose little tracking dog. After a few run ins with wildebeest she has lost part of her left lung but remains enthusiastic for the next track.
