Dukker - A small antelope, one of the smallest
You are right Doug the rangers can focus on specific animals and know where to normally go to find those animals and this is one of the reasons NOT to change rangers. There are many reasons not to change rangers. I have been preaching that for years - I am sure many of you remember that well.
However, there are also many benefits to change rangers. On my last group LION we had two vehicles - 12 people. At Leopard Hills we stayed with our assigned rangers. Then at Lion Sands we mixed and matched all the time and I really did enjoy that a lot at Lion Sands. It added a whole new dimension which gave me the idea to consider this new OPEN SEATING LAND ROVERS.
We will see how it works and we may decide NOT to do this again or to NEVER go back to assigned rangers and always do it this way. Time will tell.
If we do have some who have missed a certain animal we can have a LION land rover and a LEOPARD range rover! Who wants to come with me on a wild goose chase for WILD DOGS! I bet the other vehicle would see the dogs and I would not!
