~ After leaving the three grazing Ceratotherium simum, we drove for five minutes when an African Buffalo herd appeared on our left. I asked Anthony if the two larger animals were a Ceratotherium simum mother and calf which he confirmed. Within 30 minutes five rhinoceros at fairly close range. The calf stood near but apart from its mother, with a Cattle Egret on it and oxpeckers. In a panorama image a single Motacilla flava, Yellow Wagtail, is flying to the right. Observing the calf so near our position, without any other visitors, was a precious experience.
