The next day was even better than the first...we started off at 7:00am with a bullock ride, canoed down the river past crocodiles in the river and on the bank (but they were still a bit too cold and sleepy to be a worry) walked through the forest with our guide trying to locate a rhino (which we did) went to the Elephant Breeding Centre, came back for a lunch, then off on an elephant safari ride through the forest for the afternoon, where we again ghot very close to a lot of rhinos and deer. After we finished that, we both went back again to the Elephant Races festival further up the road
More on the forest walk to find a rhino...Alan was absolutely wrapt...our guide took us walking off through some tracks, as he'd heard there was a rhino in the icinity...We came across it allright..a huge adult..Alan and Brahmi decided to walk as close as possible to it ...within 10 feet I reckon, but I stayed right next to the closest tree I could climb up in case of an attack...and sure enough, the rhino heard them when Alan's camera made too much oise, so I watched
Ox cart ride
Our transpofrt abougt 7km each way to and from the Canoe Ride and Elephant breeding sitethem turn and take a few very fast steps back until they realised he wasn't going to chase them after all (a bit more interested in feeding) Must say it felt much safer on the elephant...we must have come across about 8 later in the afternoon...2 rhinos fighting, mother and babe feeding etc. They weren't at all bothered by the elephqants we were on.
