    So today was a day Ingrid and I were really looking forward to. Through Pete's contacts we were given the opportunity to visit a rhino orphanage. As this is a high security area, general public don't normally have this opportunity. This is where baby rhino ca...

    DAY SIX:

     

    Today was an early start; we left the camp at 6am to go to Tempe Elephant Park. Unfortunately our safari ute had problems with the clutch and the starter motor so we had to borrow Andrew’s 4x4 to do the morning drive while our open top ute got fixed.

    DAY THREE:

     

    The first night within the Somhkanda Reserve was an interesting experience. I was a newbie camper and drank too much and desperately needed to get up in the night. Being an open campsite with no fence line, it became a bit of an issue when I needed to get up...
