By Andrew Short of the University of Kansas Originally published by NationalGeographic.com, October 30, 2013

Moscow-born zoologist Vladimir Dinets, the author of Dragon Songs: Love and Adventure Among Crocodiles, Alligators and Other Dinosaur Relations is a research assistant professor at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. After a globe-crossing search for the world’s last remaining wild places, he reports that Guyana..

Dinets and CNN are particularly taken by Karanambu Lodge in the Rupununi, a lodge that finds its way into many of our Guyana itineraries.
