South Africa Donates 16 Wild Dogs To Hwange NP in Zimbabwe.

This is great news!

For the unfamiliar, Hwange NP is only a 2.5 hour drive (or much shorter flight) from Victoria Falls and is a Big Five wildlife destination, or what is the term Super Seven? as it also includes cheetahs and wild dogs.

Besides the relatively well known Makalolo Plains operated by Wilderness Safaris, the newest and most exclusive Hwange option is Somalisa Camp, operated by African Bushcamps:

Cool! Maybe I'll get to see the dogs again this October. That would make 2 out of 3 and rhinos to boot!
