Summary:
This was an absolutely amazing experience! We were taken in to the area where the
Rhinos are by a guide called Blessing Masenga, who was extremely familiar with the area, the animals, their behaviour etc. So much was explained to us, and we received excellent instructions so that our visit would not bring any harm to the animals nor include any risk for us. It was certainly one of my highlights during the 3 weeks in Africa!
