We only had one task on Sonia, Juancho,
Tomas, and Maida’s last day in Kenya. We
HAD to spot a Rhino in the wild! We had seen 4 of the Big 5 and couldn’t leave
Africa without seeing all of them. So
where did we go? Ol Pejada – the largest
black rhino sanctuary in the world!
We loved learning about rhinos but hated
hearing about the horrible poaching problem.
People, leave the rhinos alone! So, here’s a little trivia for
you.....what’s the difference between a white rhino and a black rhino? Color?
Nope, think again! It’s the shape of their mouths. Who would have guessed.
We were a bit disappointed when our first
encounter with a Rhino was a fenced in, blind, black rhino. Don’t get me wrong, it was cool to see him up
close and get to feed him but we wanted to discover the rhino by ourselves while
driving around the sanctuary. Luckily, we
didn’t give up! By the end of the day we
had discovered several rhinos roaming in the wild. We could leave Africa with our heads held
high – knowing that we had seen the Big 5!!
People – Kenya is a dream! If you have ever wanted to go on an African
safari you MUST come here! Your mind
will be blown. You will not regret
it. In fact, if you ever need a travelling
partner, just let me know. I’ll come
back here in a heartbeat!
