Default Best wildlife spectacles in 10 days!
I am going out to the beautiful DR on Sunday and wanted some last minute hints and tip offs to see some amazing wildlife... Obviously the whales are around but anything, manatees, flamingos, snakes, frogs, insects, anything would be great!

Also does anyone know of any great guides who may be able to help?

I am a keen photographer and look forward to documenting this exciting area!

Theo

Default Wild life, lots!
Just keep your camera handy and you'll get lots of chances to get shots of "wild life" here in the Dominican Republic.

Incredible - it will be a pleasure to see! The R. Iguanas... Are they exclusively in the West or all over DR?

Thanks again!
