Reporting Date: 21.12.12
on a full day game drive Daniel and his guests had a special moment just a while after getting into the reserve. Daniel stopped to explain the vegetation of the reserve from east to west when the spotter asked him for a pair of binocular. After finishig the explanation sena the spotter asked Daniel if he could drive to the left behind some bushes half kilometer away as there is surprise!
Just before arriving the dominant male rhino of that area emerged and was somehow in a hurry. It sniffed twice on the ground and Daniel told the guests that it must be following a female. It quickly moved past the car into the bushes and in a moment we heard a commotion and shortly saw a female with it behind the bushes.
