LIVINGSTONE - Walk with the Rhino - "the Rhino"

Betty and I had a day to ourselves - before we flew to Johannesburg. We decided to try the 'walk with the Rhino' - there were two parts of this event. After our guide picked us up  - we went to the ???? National Refuge - and then picked up one of the crew that have the 24X7 duty to 'guard' this Rhino - second largest in the world. Then we all take off on foot to find the Rhino - (there are other guards by the Rhino and they communicate on where he is). We spent a fair amount of time watching this huge mammal - "walking with him" - okay about 100 feet from him.

At the same time our 'guide' told us about the flora/fauna and other animals in the area. An elephant had come thru just a couple days prior and pushed down a couple of 12 inch trees to get to their leaves! We also saw a couple of girraffes on our way back to our vehicle.

Then part #2 was driving thru the refuge looking for other wild life. (next post)
