This was taken on an early morning game drive in Kwazulu-Natal. There were two adults and one baby white rhino in the road and we watched them for 20 minutes or so. I had only seen wild rhino once before in Tanzania, but from quite a distance, so this was the first time I had seen them so close. And it was close. They are quite impressive animals and so prehistoric. It's heartbreaking to think that they may be extinct soon due to man's ignorance and greed.
