Zimbabwe Part 2

When in Hwange National Park, our guide was Andy. This man knows all. He took us tracking, now, it is really on. I followed this man, after listening to him all day, I would follow him and feel safe anytime, anywhere. We were to go rhino tracking. These are really big animals and have no sense of humor. There I was following the MAN in his shorts with a big rifle slung over his shoulder thru the bush. If that was not exciting enough, now he is shushing us and motioning us to keep low and quiet. He is sure the White Rhino terrible twins are close. Holy cow, they were, and hugh, and close. I was standing behind a tree with a trunk the size of my wrist, now one would think that was silly, but, I did listen to Andy. He said they cannot see very well and if I did not move, they would not see me at all. By using the little tree for cover, I did not have to crouch, and that is not my favorite position. This was the most exciting part of any game drive I had all thru Africa. Awesome...Oh, they are called white by mistake, it really means wide mouth, in Dutch,but, you know how that goes in translation. They are about the same color as the black ones. I am not sure how close one has to be to tell the width of their mouths, Andy did not have to get very close. Me, the binoculars would do.
