I love rhinos, even though I was nearly killed by one once. I've seen white rhino, black rhino, and also the prehistoric looking Indian rhino on
my travels. It's always an exciting thing to encounter a rhino when on safari, but coming across one when you are on foot can be an adrenalin
rush too far.
I had spent some time at the black rhino project in Zimbabwe, where young rhinos are hand reared and eventually released into the wild to
replace those lost to poaching. One morning I was out on foot near the Shenga river looking for lions in thick grey acacia bush when all of a
sudden a huge territorial bull rhino just appeared out of the bush at point blank range. My tracker Mark van Zudam recoiled with the word
'rhino!' and we were instantly transformed into Olympic sprinters.
