With heavy hearts, after a week in absolute paradise, we had to come back home today. But iSimangaliso – “the place of miracles and wonders” – had one more treasure to share with us on the 30km drive between Cape Vidal and the gate – this beautiful black rhinoceros!
Soon we’ll start posting the recollections of our summertide rambles through the Karoo National Park, Bontebok National Park, Garden Route National Park, Addo Elephant National Park, Mountain Zebra National Park and the iSimangaliso Wetland Park. We hope you’ll join us for the daily series and won’t get bored too soon, as there’s lots to cover!

What an amazing rhino sighting to send you on your homeward journey. 😍
They’re such special animals!
I am looking forward to seeing your images and reading your stories!
Thank you for the ever positive commentary, John!
Wow, what a spectacular creature! How wonderful you had this moment….💕
One of those moments you’re always grateful for, Lori.
I hope that trip keeps you and your family sane for a short time, Dries. How wonderful to see the rhino on your way home.
We’re feeling so blessed and grateful for being able to spend some time in the bush again, Tracy.
Looking forward to reading about your adventures!
Thank you for the kind support, Shikha!
They are as powerful and strong as a locomotive! They must weigh a lot, they look solid! Thank you, D. 🙂
Quite right, H.J. – although they’re the smaller of the two kinds of African rhinos Black Rhinos weigh up to 1200kg (over 2,600 pounds) and have the most terrible temperament to boot!
Vervelig sal dit nooit wees nie. Jul haal elke keer weer iets nuuts uit die hoed( kamera)
Baie dankie vir jou immer positiewe bydraes, Ineke!
You are welcome soos hul dit in Ingels sê.
Sien uit daarna.
Baie gaaf van jou, Una!
Glad you arrived home safely and I look forward to your magnificent photographic tales of the wonderful places you have visited this summer.
Thank you very much, Anne!
I know I won’t be bored. I’m looking forward to all the recollections. As for this guy, can’t say “What a beauty”, but he’s certainly magnificent in many ways. 🙂
