These white rhinos in Rietvlei Nature Reserve presented a formidable front as they approached the road!
Our end-of-year 2015 holidays were absolutely packed to the brim. Apart from our ten-day visit to the Kruger National Park (read more about our time at Lower Sabie, Olifants and Shingwedzi in December), we also made day trips to five other reserves, and will be sharing photos from those (except Suikerbosrand, which we introduced in a post all of its own) daily through the month of February, in a series we call “a month of monochrome memories”.

Ons is al by geleentheid deur vier op n slag gestorm, Ineke! In n ander reservaat bygese, Rietvlei se renosters was nog altyd baie rustig.
Ai,so mooi,Dries!
Baie dankie Dina!

Together through thick and thin! Thanks Janet!
I do hope you retreated cautiously. Looks like the one on the left has already lost part of his horn somewhere. Ouch!
We gave them plenty of space, Pat 😉
Rietvlei’s managament routinely shorten the rhinos’ horns to discourage poachers. As the horn is made of hairy fibres and has no nerves, the animals feel no distress. Sad to see a rhino this way, but it’s a million times better than seeing them dead with their faces hacked off…
Ha! They look like a bunch of friends on their way to do something amusing 😆
They do, Maciek! Probably on their way to a mud wallow 😉
