It’s quite a fantastic shot, Michael. The rhino, the mountains, the tall grass and the lighting are ALL adding up to a gorgeous photo!

Thanks – I think that this is about as close to primeval Africa as I’ve ever been able to get. These Black Rhinos are very hard t find – especially during the day.

Great find Michael!! I have been to Ithala a few times but I have not been this lucky! That reserve is a little jewel. Well done!

I know what you mean – Black Rhinos are very hard to find. I’ve seen a lot of them in Etosha, but usually at night.

Thanks for the feedback. This was lucky. We spent 3 weeks in South Africa last year and saw ONE Black Rhino – this is it.
