Not the best "photographic" sighting, but when last did YOU see 3 black rhinos and 3 elephants in the same frame??
A special moment from one of the photo safaris I hosted last year... I know I haven't before this sighting and probably won't again soon. The female black rhino was lazing around with her youngest calf and her calf from the previous season - while the breeding herd of elephants merely ambled by in the process of feeding. With rhinos and elephants under immense pressure from poaching, illegal wildlife part trafficking and human encroachment - these scenes will be rarer and rarer to come across. Can you imagine the sights the old explorers must have seen, standing atop the hills? As Peter Sarstedt sings in his song "Hemingway": "Africa then, was a sight to behold...
Rhino and elephant in numbers untold!"
