Excitement is all over Botswana with the official announcement that one of our three Wild Dog packs are denning.
The Selinda Camp guides have found the den, a stones throw from the camp with a now thin and lactating Alpha Female. They have instantly put in place a strict protocol of no visits for the next few weeks to ensure no disturbance, and then limited visits after that.
These highly endangered mammals, the rarest in southern Africa have successfully denned on the reserve for the past several years. We had a record three dens in 2013 and with the Alpha female from the Mophane pack, having not been see for a few days, it would appear that she may also be denning also.
We will keep you updated with the news as it happens and hopefully we will have the first puppy photos of 2014 soon.
