White rhinocerous

Hluhluwe Park, South Africa

Another Hluhluwe road hazard situation. I was starting back to the the Hilltop Lodge about an hour before dusk. Plenty of time, I thought, until I came around the corner and saw these two lumbering ahead of me. I'm told that a rhinocerus can run very quickly when they want to. I guess these didn't. I followed behind them, inching along at 1-2 kph, for almost an hour. It was dark by the time I got back to the lodge.
