Gina and I were highly disappointed that we had not captured the elusive and rare white rhino, one of the Big Five, other than a single blurry attempt on our first night at Djuma. We relayed this to Chris and Abraham, who somehow made the stars align on our last night's outing for what turned into a "butt-puckering" experience less than 2 meters from the Land Rover. Not only were we blessed with two adult rhinos, but they decided to joust one another at an uncomfortably close range. Chris's nonchalant attitude did little to comfort me as the brouhaha broke out and I nearly leapt onto Gina's lap.

As Chris restarted the jeep with a chuckle, Gina and I knew we'd be back for more.
