Two rhinos on the sand river plains.
Our guests who were on game drive near the sand river plains were rewarded by a sighting of two black rhinos which had just crossed over the dry sand river from the masai mara. They were a mother and an older calf of about three years of age. They had not been spotted for almost two months in their bushland habitat along the river and therefore it was a good plus for our guests who were really longing to see one.
