Wild dogs on the hunt

Knowing that the wild dogs were released in the first half of 2010 I knew that this time I had a very good chance to see them in our own Limpopo-Lipadi Game & Wilderness Reserve (LL) during my stay for six days with three good friends at Unit 6 in August 2010. For the last 15 years, in which I visit South Africa at least twice a year for holidays in the bush, I never saw them in the wild. Of course I saw them in the boma at LL (August last year) and at Kapama (the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre (HESC)) in Hoedspruit but that doesn’t count. The wild dogs are the last of the "bigger" mammals I didn’t see so far and it would be nice to tick them of the list.
