Swaziland is often forgotten, but it shouldn't be so. At least for familys who want to see rhino upclose. On foot! In the Mkhaya Game Reserve you can track white and black rhino with a gameranger. Being on the ground with rhino, even white, cetainly gets your pulse up a bit.
Mommy white rhino
Baby white rhino. Who didn't stop until he/she was 1.5 meters from me. Being a bit slow witted, I stood my ground and continued taking pictures. My other eye was keeping a watch on mommy rhino since I saw her as a bigger potential threat...
young Sable that has been bred in captivity to build up the population.
I saw that the Mkhaya park now has a website, so I thought I'd post a link.
It's well worth a couple of days visit for those who are hunting next door in RSA (it's a couple of hours drive from the southern gate to Kruger Nat. Park). And the price of the luxerious Stone Camp is half of what the same would cost in the other southern African countries.
Definitely very cool. I went on a couple traditional (read: on the back of a rover) photo safari's when I was younger and would have much prefered to be on foot. Looks very cool.
