Wild Dogs

Another reason I am always thrilled to tour the southern circuit is the rare opportunity it provides for sighting Wild dogs, one of Africa's most endangered animals. However, a happy circumstance has emerged in the Gol Mountain area of Northern Tanzania's Ngorongoro Conservation Area where what seems to be a thriving pack of Wild dogs has taken up residence and become a regular sighting, at least during the time when migrating antelope are passing through. I take two tours through the Gols early 2008 and am really excited about the chances of seeing this pack. I thought I would pass on an operator called Kiliwarriors whose great video clip of the Gol Mountain dogs hunting earlier this year was posted on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAAG5g_EaiU.

Here is another YouTube video posted this May that you MUST see. Lions, cape buffalo and crocodiles battle it out at Kruger National Park, South Africa. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU8DDYz68kM
