Oops, one of the black rhinos was hanging out in plain sight. He had to rush off towards the back of the enclosure before anyone else saw him.

Waterbok (aka waterbuck) are a relatively recent addition to the safari.

I had a great CM driver on my last safari ride, she had all kinds of new information of the animals and the different areas on the ride.

Fun fact, Bongo antelopes are the only forest antelopes to run in herds.
