This is quite a rare sighting!

Pierre took this photo a few days ago when he was out with guests in the Kruger Park on a day trip.

I have seen myself a entire crash of over 20 rhinos sleeping in the morning on our reserve, but as we approached them they all woke up and walked off, so I could not take a photo of them.

In general it is nice to see rhinos peacefully enjoying their lives. The current poaching frenzy in South Africa is now starting to seriously endanger this species, and, little known to the wider public, 90% of all of Africa’s rhinos live in South Africa, and of all of those, 80-90% live in the Greater Kruger Park area. So this area is absolutely vital for the long-term survival of this famous (and imposing) African animal.

Our own reserve is home to white and black rhinos (of which there are only 3000 surviving specimen in the whole of Africa!), so if you want to see rhinos in the wild, and get close to them, then an African safari at our safari lodge is just perfect! Your visit here will help the protection of the rhinos, and there are not many more noble things to do than to help nature conservation.

Enjoy the photo!
