Once at the sanctuary we went for a drive to see the Rhinos. Miles was driving, not a good idea, as we got stuck in the beach sand after about 5 minutes and had to push our way out. Saw some rhino, buck, zebra, giraffe, springbuck, impala and kudu. The highlight was when we went back to the watering hole and got out of the bus to take some final snaps. Saw a rhino in the distance slowly making his way towards us, hoping that we will get some close ups we stayed out the car. Closer it comes, just a little closer…. oh dear, it’s getting quite close now, maybe we should get back in the car? Hurry…phew, back in the safety of our car. But the rhino is still curious and comes even closer and walks among the 4x4 vans and here we are in our little Kia! This little 2 ton rhino actually stuck his horn in one of the cars whose window was open. Then he decided he wanted to rub up against a car and finally found his rubbing post.
How lucky were we to see this rhino so close and live to tell the tale!!
This was a great end to our 10 day tour with Acacia. Miles and Jimmy were great and we couldn’t of had a better group to do this with. One thing we won’t miss is the camping and we are so looking forward to a proper bed with pillows and shower.
