Rhinos

Woke up and had early breakfast then we sat in the car on our way to Bulawayo. We would go search for rhinos. It took around 2h there and when we got to the city we got picked up by a man in a safari car and he drove us to the national park. When we got there he told us one rhino got poached 2 days ago so he didn't know if the other ones where still there. We started walking in the bush and climbed up on a mountain of rocks which had a great view and would help us spot the rhinos. But we didn't see anything so we headed back to the car and drove to ask people of the park if they had seen them but no luck there. Some ladies had seen them early morning so we went to that place but nothing, so we climed another rock mountain to see if we could spot any rhino but nothing. So we walked down and started walking back to the car to leav, but then we saw a rhino and a baby just behind some bushes, so close. We started walking closer and closer and we got around 20m away. We followed the rhinos a while and got lost in the bush haha. Then we finally found the car and went to a little lake and had lunch. After that we went to see some rock paintings which was 6000 years old which was pretty cool. Then we just climbed and watched the amazing amazing view. After that we wanted to try see more rhinos so the guide went up on a rock mountain to see and he saw one rhino so we took the car there and then walked out and searched. Then we saw the rhino and it had a baby aswell. We walked for quite a while and tried to get close but as the other rhino we couldn't really get that close as you normally could, he sayd they probably got scared cause that other rhino got poached and many rhinos must have been around and heard it. But it was great and we got really clode anyways but apparently usually you can get superclose cause they have such poor eyesight. Then we headed back to the car and went back to Bulawayo. Walked around a bit in town and then we went home. I slept on the way there and on the way back so quite a pleasent trip haha. When we got home we had meeting and then dinner and now i will sleep :)
