Muddy Rhinos

This afternoon I went for a game drive with Paul and his guests. On the drive we saw a troop of mongeese picking through elephant poo for insects to eat. Further along the road we came across a mother warthog and her piglet. They were busy eating grass. The piglet was on his knees so that he is closer to the ground.

The hi-light of our drive was coming across a pair of muddy white rhinos while we were on a little dirt track. When they saw the vehicle they jumped up from their muddy puddle where they were rolling around in and ran off into the bush. They did not go very far and we were still able to enjoy viewing the pair for a while. We followed them as they walked along. They stopped when they came to a fallen tree. The tree was just the right height for them to rub themselves on. At this stage they seemed to be posing for us, as we took many photos of them.

On the drive back to the lodge, we enjoyed a beautiful pink sunset.
