<\/div>\n

The insane conservation antics of South African wildlife crusader, Dingo Dinkelman, have seen him rocket to social media stardom, with his online shows viewed by millions across the globe. But it\u2019s going to be Dingo energy multiplied by four this weekend as he\u2019s joined by three more of the globe\u2019s craziest conservationists as VIPs at this year\u2019s SOS\u00b2 Reptile Expo taking place at Emperors Palace in Joburg from 29 to 30 April.<\/p>\n

Having arrived last week, Dingo has been playing host to the three American visitors \u2013 \u2018Danger\u2019 Danny Perich and Savannah Boan from Gatorland, and Kevin McCurley founder and owner of New England Reptile Distributors (NERD). The trio has joined Dingo on several African wildlife adventures, including dehorning rhinos in an effort to curb the poaching pandemic; the soft release of pangolins \u2013 the most endangered mammals on the planet; collaring lions to conserve natural populations; relocating crocodiles; as well as many other reptile-based activities!<\/p>\n

\u201cConservation is a collaborative effort and it\u2019s awesome that we all get to share our knowledge about local efforts, and highlight what needs to be done to save animal species at a national level,\u201d explained Dingo, the award-winning conservationist and social media celebrity. \u201cI always have an unforgettable time visiting Gatorland and the New England Reptile Distributors, so I\u2019ve made sure the US team has enjoyed an epic African experience, and we\u2019re looking forward to engaging with the crowd at SOS\u00b2 Reptile Expo this weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dingo also extended his thanks to the incredible Zebra Hills Safari Lodge located within the 23 000ha Manyoni Private Game Reserve, a Zululand-based Big 5 reserve. \u201cZebra Hills is honestly our home away from home, and we are so grateful to them for playing host to this important conservation expedition.\u201d<\/p>\n

Savannah and Danny come with vast reptilian experience, having worked at \u2018The Alligator Capital of the World\u2019 for a number of years. Since 1949, Gatorland has been Florida\u2019s leader in alligator safety and education and, in 2018, the organisation established Gatorland Global \u2013 a dedicated conservation programme that provides resources and support to conservation research across the world. Social media celebrity, Savannah, leads the park\u2019s worldwide efforts to save alligators and crocodiles and is the international ambassador for Gatorland Global.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re joined by Kevin McCurley of NERD, who started the organisation as a hobbyist with a passion for reptiles and has grown it into one of the largest reptile breeders in the Northeast of the United States. Last year, Dingo joined Kevin on his home turf when he embarked on another international information-sharing expedition, before heading to Gatorland to check out some of America\u2019s biggest reptiles.<\/p>\n

The team will be heading to SOS\u00b2 Reptile Expo at Emperors Palace for talks on 29 and 30 April. Proven to be one of the biggest expos of its kind in the country, thousands of visitors flock to learn from the industry\u2019s best and check out the incredible display of fascinating reptiles. Tickets are available at a cost of R70 for adults, R30 for children U12, and are available at the door or from info@reptileexpo.co.za.<\/p>\n
