• Kharma Rhino Sanctuary Day 2

    May 17 in Botswana ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    We got up at 7am today and it was the cloudiest. Murkiest day of the whole trip and it was cold at 10°c.
    At 8:30am we headed out into the park for our first game drive and the lady who checked us in was freezing in her tiny gatehouse.
    We took a 2 hour drive seeing Impala, Zebra and Kudu and lots of different birds before stopping at the birdhide for 10 minutes. The bird hide was like a shed a toddler would have built, and more things were living in it than out of it.
    When we left we drove back to camp made a cheese toastie and a big flask and took it back to the lady at the gatehouse. She was very grateful.
    We chilled at camp and went for a run and at 4pm we headed back into the park and as it was warmer the rhino were out in the pans and we even spotted dwarf mongoose before heading out of the park at 5pm and driving back to camp and lighting a big fire to keep warm.
