AMAZING SUNDOWNERS complete with animals.
After the afternoon drive we gathered for a joint sundowners with a popcorn tree. Bags of popcorn tied to a tree. Close by were elephants who wandered pretty near under our Rangers watchful eyes but then lumbered off to the side.
Next came a herd of wildebeest. Then the grand finale, a female, young male and six month old rhino. They walked up really close and the Rangers said be quiet. Then the female rhino turned and ran back a bit. Then the fun began.
The male and female were sparring and the little rhino was going crazy. Running around and making a high pitched squeaking noise. Never heard that before. It was amazing to watch standing about 50 yards away on foot. They were not concerned about us at all. No one was sure whether the baby was happy or worried about the sparring but the baby sure put on a good show.
Then another male rhino arrived on the scene and the two rhinos stopped sparring, little baby went close to mom and the Rangers asked us to get in the vehicles. The show was over.
Tomorrow we switch lodges.
