BREAKING. Animal Planet big cat guy Dave Salmoni visiting South Africa for four days.


You're reading it here first.

I can be first to exclusively break the news that lion man Dave Salmoni is visiting South Africa for four days.

I can report that massive buzz just erupted within the South African television fraternity (well, those who care anyway) with multiple sources telling me that the well-known, love-to-run-with-lions host and animal handler of shows on Animal Planet (DStv 264) and Discovery Channel (DStv 121) is in South Africa this week.

Dave Salmoni who just turned 35 at the beginning of the month, arrived in South Africa on Sunday without any bags and already fitted in a photo shoot on Monday where Dave Salmoni says his clothes didn't fit. [UPDATE 15:15: I hear there was a little mix-up between the American sizes and South African sizes.]

Dave Salmoni has a South African production company and can currently be seen in Into the Lion's Den on Mondays on Animal Planet (DStv 264) at 20:05. Into the Pride alabout a lion rehabilitation project and also starring Dave Salmoni starts on Animal Planet on Monday, October 11 at 20:05.
