I am restarting my South Africa series (yesterday - Rhino at dusk) and if you
remember last time we saw the Elephants just before entering Kruger National Park. Now my friends Martin, Marie and I are inside Kruger moving around 5 different lodges and today you can see we
came across these Rhinoceses. The
photographs are not brilliant because as you can see there was a bush in the
way when they went to the waterhole but we were still excited to see them.
Yesterday's post shows them coming out of the water into another water hole at dusk and fits into the meme for reflections. CLICK HERE if you missed it.
I have a short video and if it does not appear below, CLICK HERE.
Love the rhinoceroses. You were v lucky.
ReplyDeletemassive and amazing beasts.
ReplyDeleteHello!:) Amazing captures of the Rhino. My hubby has a large collection of Rhinoceroses, but there is nothing like seeing the real thing!:)
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. Rhinos are such characters.
ReplyDeleteSo sad about them being killed by poachers in the wild for their tusks.
Have a wonderful weekend :)
Hi Margaret - they are enormous aren't they ... we forget how solid, and large they are .. fantastic photos - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteWhat a fascinating animal!
ReplyDeleteThey are magnificent, I saw some on the news last week dangling from helicopters. The sound was off so I don't know what it was all about but I expect it was something to do with poachers.
ReplyDeleteHello Margaret , these are amazing animals. You were so lucky to see them. Wonderful photos and a great video. I hope the Rhino's are protected. Hello, these are amazing animals. You were so lucky to see them. Grerat video.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of the Rhinos Margaret.
ReplyDeleteThey are still brilliant photos to me Margaret. Amazing to see this beautiful animal in its own natural habitat. Great video also.
ReplyDeleteThe images were brilliant, Margaret. The rhino is now endangered in South Africa due to poaching of the horn.
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful creatures!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing trip you had Margaret.. That's the one thing I regret about my time in Africa, that I didn't go on safari! Too late now I'm afraid. I always enjoy your safari shots and videos.
ReplyDeleteWow, you got really close to those huge beasts!
ReplyDeleteIt's a sobering thought that this could be the only way I see this species. Lovely images Margaret
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever seen a Rhino wallowing in the mud... Great shots.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed both your latest post so much; it must be beyond wonderful to see these animals in their own habitat.
