Rhino walking safari

Matopos, Zimbabwe


On the way to Vic Falls we stopped at Matopo NP to go walking with Rhinos. We had two guides. Andy- ex military, game hunter, liked talking about how many animals he'd killed amd Wally- late 60s, ex military, vicar, on the board for the SPCA. Both men wore tiny safari shorts and were probably the most interesting people I've ever met. We spent the day walking through the bush looking at plants, tracks, poo, bugs. In the afternoon we picked up the tracks of some white rhino and after a bit of a trek in the pouring rain (obvi) we came across them. It was pretty intimidating and it looked like they might charge at any given moment.

I love Africa!!!
