Trapsing the bush for a Rhino

There a re few rhinos in Zambia that are still in the wild, they are protected 24 hours a day because pouching is such a common occurrence.  So men with AK 47 follow them all the time.

I have a friend who knows one of the guys that follow the rhino and on a few occasions I was invited to go see them but was always busy, well I did get to go this time.



While walking I saw this skull, it looks like a bush buck 


We met the man on the side of the road and drove the vehicle into the bush, we got out and walked for about 20 minutes trying the find the rhinos where he last left them when he met us, well they were gone, hahhaa they had left that spot.  We walked back to the vehicle while he tracked them and then he came to get us, we walked another 10 minutes and there they were just grazing without a care in the world.  We followed them for 30 minutes as they just walked around, it was such a good experience.
