We couldnt really get any closer as there were 'roads' through the park and it was quite far off the 'road'.Sarah https://www.blogger.com/profile/12255739435823271163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484042419296070470.post-71915408987812922922016-07-08T21:14:14.812+01:002016-07-08T21:14:14.812+01:00Yes it was lovely to hear about the conservation e...Yes it was lovely to hear about the conservation efforts in Ngorongoro. And so pleased to have been able to have seen it if only if we saw it from so far away.Sarah https://www.blogger.com/profile/12255739435823271163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484042419296070470.post-44161075329536868962016-07-06T17:35:10.528+01:002016-07-06T17:35:10.528+01:00What a wonderful experience for you - even though ...What a wonderful experience for you - even though it was so far away. When we go on safari (some day soon, I hope), my husband intends to rent an uber-long camera lens. He thinks it would come in handy for opportunities like this. I'm guessing your guide took you as close as possible. How close to the rhino did you get?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15257494820953469493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484042419296070470.post-68014234070943522292016-07-06T12:41:32.013+01:002016-07-06T12:41:32.013+01:00That's so cool!

It always depresses me to think about how many species have been driven to (or are on the brink of) extinction by human actions - they make it difficult enough for themselves as it is! Glad that some progress is being made.Michellehttp://michwanderlust.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
