  • Dogs for Wildlife with Jackie Law

    Dogs for Wildlife with Jackie Law
    Feb 3 2024
    There is an amazing story behind Dogs 4 Wildlife 'Dan'. Around a year ago Dogs 4 Wildlife was contacted by a wonderful women named Caroline Bridle. Caroline saw a social media post on our important work and felt compelled to reach out to us. In 2013, Caroline's son Daniel Bridle, was diagnosed with terminal cancer, just a year later in 2014 Daniel lost his battle and sadly passed away.

    Being a huge animal lover, Caroline could not think of a better way to honour her sons memory than having a specialised dog, trained to protect endangered wildlife. When she told us of Daniel's inspiring story, naming one of our dogs in memory of her son was a fitting tribute to the dedication of Caroline and her family in Daniel's memory and future legacy.

    So far Caroline's commitment to this project has been awe-inspiring, thanks to her fundraising endeavours Dogs 4 Wildlife 'Dan' is fully sponsored and we feel it only a fitting tribute to find a very special conservancy to place Dan to help protect and conserve endangered wildlife, The Bonamanzi Game Reserve in South Africa.

  • Introduction to the Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda

    Introduction to the Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda
    Dec 26 2023
    This is a podcast as the information about the Park is wide and varied. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the birds we spotted and the banks were filled with so many species of both birds and animals. We saw elephant, hippo, warthog, crocodile and of course a proliferation of birds that Ken Lovell didn't know where to point his camera.

    The animals came down to soak in the water as the tropical heat here means that the midday sun beats down together with the humidity. But the cruise boat had enough shaded seats for us to enjoy rhe cruise. We drifted past rhe fishermen who were getting their nets ready and clean for the afternoons fishing. Talapia fish is the most commonly found in the area.
