Today was a long day.. we went to Hluhluwe Umfolozi game reserve.. Our guide Kyle took us at 80km an hour in an open type of jeep on the freeway with no seatbelt for Mrs. Haberman! that takes 9 passengers. We went over 160 miles in a 1 million acre park. We saw giraffe, zebra, a yellow billed hornbill, buffalo, lion kill and powerful smell, spotted hyena, blue wildebeest, vulture convention at the river and baboons! It felt like it was 100 degrees in the sun. We saw a lot of beautiful rolling hills, some jungle and a sandy river bed. Last but not least on our way out of the park, the gate guard a large male rhino in our road. We stopped for a while to see what would happen. When Kyle our guide inched forward, the rhino challenged us! We ended up backing up, yelling, etc.. and finally the rhino moved out of the way! Tomorrow were more animals!
