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.
