MONDAY NIGHT UPDATE

Just back from our evening game drive and have showered and ready for dinner. We were on the drive from 3:45 until 6:30pm. This evening we saw a huge male white rhinoceros. At first he was unsure of us and at one time Marius put it in reverse and floor boarded our vehicle. Even our tracker was getting nervous as he was on front of the truck. But the rhino settled down and became use to us and we got lots of nice photos. That was most exciting though! Later we saw lots of herds of impala, some kudu, this time alive, a bushbuck with a nice rack of horns, and a family of 5 zebras. We could not get very close to the zebras and actually left our vehicle and walked in on them to get closer. There was another camp's safari vehicle there and that guide did not let her people out of the vehicle. Of course, Marius had his rifle with him as we walked. Right before dark we stopped and had cocktails under the cloudless African sky. We returned to camp in the dark and our tracker shined his high powered spot light to see if any eyes would be glowing in the dark. Today was so neat. I still cannot describe how good of a time we are having here. More tomorrow morning as it all starts over at 5:30am.
