After spotting lion on our evening game drive at Kuzuko Lodge, the next member of the Big 5 that we encountered was a Black Rhino about 15 minutes into our drive the next morning. I haven't seen a black rhino for ages, the last one being years ago in Addo Elephant National Park. What a privilege to see this beautiful animal in its natural environment. So sad that some idiots in the Far East think that it's horn, which is made of exactly the same material as your nails, can be used for medicinal purposes and now drive the demand that leads to these animals being illegally poached for their horns.
