~ We slowly wended our way through fairly tall grass when several dark shapes appeared, larger, with a different profile than African Buffalo. I quietly asked Anthony to back up a bit, as I saw them from my standing vantage point while his view was obscured by the grass. It was a trio of Ceratotherium simum, White Rhinoceros. XU Ni was delighted to have seen the Big 5, so there was whispered congratulations all around. In each of the past four safaris I've photographed rhinos, but the nearest one in this group was especially large. Parked to watch them grazing, it was a special moment for Anthony from Kenya, Ni from China and an American. Rhinos are everyone's heritage which is why conservation education for children is essential.
