The last part of Etosha National Park. We were extremely lucky to see these two rhino. Because it's so wet, they don't usually bother going to the watering holes - but that night they did :D Unfortunately it was very late already and they were just too far for the little flash.

great pics again. I'm considering using the sunset as my pcs desktop background.
 
Oh wow - coolio - glad you like it ! :D
 
It's amazing to see the rhino's in the wild. You are so lucky to have seen all these gorgeous animals in the wild. I'm pretty jealous. Did you see any elephants? :hey: They are my favorites, then the rhinos and the big cats.
 
Thanks ! :D No, this time round we didn't see any elephants, but it didn't bother me. They were over in the Delta marsh lands this that time of year where nothing or no one can access or see them. But I've seen huge herds over in the East of Botswana years ago in Chobe - that was pretty awesome too.

I've had too many a close encounter with them - especially on the walking safari I did in the Kruger National Park last year. But that another story I might do a thread and pictures on when I have some time :thumbs:
 
Those two sunset pics are just stunning, would make great pictures for the wall :)
