Eleven white and one black rhinos plus two lions in 45 minutes!

From boring to exciting in 45 minutes


We take a sundowner tour from Ongava Lodge. It starts off endlessly boring. Everything is dry and dusty (like Etosha). After the first hour, we saw a turtle, a larger kudu and some black faced impala. Not the big excitement!

Then all of a sudden, just at sunset, we see eleven white rhinos, one black rhino and two lions. Crazy!

Exciting to be so close to the majestic animals! Nice that the rhino is not quite as hunted as it was a few years ago. The animals are closely watched by anti poaching patrols.

At night we hear lions outside the tent, now we better understand the armed guard.
