Tag: black rhino

I was lucky enough to see a black rhino cow and calf – moving along a hill opposite to where our vehicle was parked.  This photo was taken at full zoom (300mm) and I haven’t cropped it.  If I had to guess I would say they were somewhere between 400-500 metres away; and from what I have heard about the black rhino temperament, that is a pretty comfortable distance! (In case you are wondering, the calf is the indistinct lump slightly behind mom).

Unfortunately with the distance there is no way to post a comparison (using my photos) to show the difference between the black and white rhino.  Still, a really cool experience.

Have a great evening!
