Woke early and eager for a coffee, but had to leave on the Rhino walk at 7am so only got the muesli. We had three guides and a driver. The guides lined up two in front and one behind. The first guide carried a self loading rifle for our protection, the second guide provided the expert comentary, and the third watched our backs.
Got close to four white Rhino's and within about 15 m of the dominant male. In tracking the Rhino we learnt about their footprints and dung. We also saw water buffalo, impala, antelope, warthogs and baboons. After a picnic beside the mighty Zambesi we saw a mother and baby Giraffe browsing on trees.
After a mid day breakfast, we walked up town to buy bus tickets, and got so hot we took a plunge in the Zig Zag pool on our return. Possibly the only guests to use the pool at this time of the year.
Rode the night bus to Lusaka without incident other than being unprepared for paying to use the toilet.
