Also, the lake is the most reliable place for both Black and White Rhinos in the whole of East Africa. This is the second post in the Birding crème de la crème series (the first, focused on southern Asia, is here ).

A close encounter with a couple of White Rhinos gave me a good opportunity to get a proper look at some Red-billed Ox-peckers Buphagus Erythrorhynchus that often accompany them. Rhino skin is very tough and despite spending much of their time amongst the thorn bushes, scratches are usually only superficial. The Black Rhino is a browser with a hooked upper lip. I hope you will forgive me for concentrating more on the rhino, but they were very big and very close.

The one photograph of the Caracal shows it’s pointed ears and wispy ear tufts; a close-up of the mouth of the White Rhino focuses on the extremely wide mouth that distinguishes it from the Black Rhino; male and female images of the antelope species, which are significantly different, are shown side by side. One exception are the Rhino photos, which have the horns of different photos almost interlocking, an effect that is visually exciting.)

The annual number of rhino poached in South Africa last year rose to 1,215, Environmental Affairs Minister Edna Molewa told a media briefing in Pretoria two weeks ago. On average, over 100 rhinos were illegally killed each month. Molewa added that so far this year 49 rhino had been killed countrywide. offered me a glass of Campari liqueur and there we were, enveloped by the tranquility of a sunset in a thorny savanna observing a rhino lowering its massive head to the water.

Originally a hunting term, the Big Five were the most dangerous and prized targets of the great white hunters on safari. Red-billed is the most widespread, occurring in both regions, whereas White-billed are only found in East Africa. A third species of buffalo weaver exists, the White-headed, similar to the previous two in structure but rather unique in coloration. Black Rhinos are best sought in South Africa, Namibia and Tanzania.
