Reporting Date: 22nd August 2012
In an early morning game drive , ranger Godson and his guests came across a rare sighting of a female black rhino in the open grasslands. She was not feeding but was slowly walking across from one side of her bushlands habitat to another. She is normally accompanied by her older calf but on this occasion she was alone. Because of poor eyesight, she kept on stopping to listen to any slight noise in the surroundings.
