because none of the six of us wanted to be taken up the mountains.
Mark decided that George was not being obstinate but that perhaps he
is usually given a protocol for the various safari drives and was unsure

head ranger/guide to discuss our predicament. The next day proved
that he had made the correct move.
What a difference in George! From then on, we had a wonderful time
with him as he made every effort to find the animals and birds we
wanted to observe. When we happened upon them, he stopped with
patience for our activities of locating the bird, photographing it,
watching the mammal behaviors, checking the bird books to make
correct identifications. And the very next day, we were at the airfield in
plenty of time to see and photograph the wild dog pack.
The pack is a small one, with only four known members, but we saw
three of them and Kay also got a couple of really good pictures of them.
