Black Rhinos
January 21, 2010 by Jean KZN
I was in Mkhuze Game Reserve yesterday and was privileged to witness one of the best sightings of black rhino I have ever had in that park – surpassed only by one a few years ago where a female and calf crossed the road within a few meters of my vehicle (after a long, long wait).
I was on my way out of the game reserve in the late evening with storm clouds gathering – awesome light – when there thy were, perfectly displayed in an open glade and looking right at us – two black rhino. One was a very large male and the other a female he was very interested in. The guests asked if we could get closer (we had been very close to some white rhino earlier) and the bull showed them why not even before I cold explain. He put on a small display of bouncy aggression and then settled down again. We sat with them for about 10 minutes before they trotted of into the bush for some privacy
