Reporting Date: 30.09.2012
Peter and his guests were on a game drive in the mara game reserve and came across an interesting episode involving three elephants and a rhino. The two elephants decided to bully the rhino but the rhino stood its ground making the elephants to retreat. Peter and his guests were anxious to see what would happen next and within minutes the three elephants came charging towards the rhino and managed to chase it away!
