It was really hard to spot the endangered Black Rhinos as they are known to be rather elusive and shy. We did see six rhinos, but they were so far away, we might as say we haven't seen them at all. We had almost given up looking for a closer view towards the end of the day, but at the eleventh hour, JC spotted one for us. Persistence and patience had paid off and the bugger had unexpectedly decided to cross the road right in front of our car (well, almost!). Clearly, the Rhino looked annoyed - probably agitated and confused with the various scents present as it made its way home into the woods.
A former guide from our safari company claimed that he has only seen rhinos crossing his path FOUR TIMES in his 11 years experience with more than 300 safaris under his belt! Imagine the rarity. Another fantastic sight that was!
