A Rhino Sighting up Close, Manyeleti Game Reserve, South Africa

Rhino Sighting- Too Close for Comfort?

Posted on June 13, 2013May 13, 2021

I expected to see wild animals on a South African safari but I did not let my hopes rise beyond a point. After all my tiger sighting count in India is still stuck at zero after 4 different national parks! But the safari at the Manyeleti Game Reserve exceeded all expectations.

When I first saw Rhinos at such a close range my mind went blank. I thought they would go away but they kept circling around our jeep for a long time. At one point they made strange noises and I was assured by Patrick that they were just showing off! I was so glad that they were just showing off and Patrick knew what he was doing, cause I didn’t!

    Close encounters are always exciting in retrospect. 🙂
