it´s about time I get back to Botswana, it seems I suffer from Wild Dog turkey. In November I´ll be in the Kwara concession. Rumours are, that the pack there consists of 31!!!!! wild dogs with 16 puppies. X fingers we will be able to find them. You never know, as the puppies will already be mobile by then and follow on the hunts. Later we´ll be in Lebala and Lagoon concession. There´s also a big pack with 8 adults and numerous puppies. So odds are good, we get to see those fascinating…
