We left Rainbow camp early today and headed to the town of Rhundu, basically on the border with Angola. I had stopped here with the Dragomaniacs and at the time, thought who the hell visits a place like this? Again, I had the same thought, thinking to myself that I couldn't believe I was back here. I had much more purpose to my visit this time, on my last visit to Rhundu, I remember thinking, what the hell am I supposed to do here for an hour and a half. Th...

George wanted to go on the nature walk, so he asked me if I could have breakfast ready for when they all got back. No worries, I said.

We got back on the...

Today we did game driving all day, we got up early, yet again, so most of us were falling asleep on the first drive.I was just about asleep, when I spotted a rhino and yelled out to everyone else.Best spot of the day!We sat and watched this magnificent creature for about an hour, it was wonderful to see it in the wild, rather than in a zoo.This is the first of the big five, and one of the hardest to spot, as they are on the endangered list. We stopped at anoth...
