About this photo

This one is probably of my best wildlife photos. It was taken in Matapos National Park in Zimbabwe. We drove around the reserve with a jeep woth a ranger when we spotted this white rhino. We got out of the jeep and got in a bit closer. The ranger assured that it was safe because we were off wind and rhinos have a really bad eyesight. He did carry a weapon to scare him away if necessary, but never
We were able to approach this wonderful animal up to 15 meters. The zoom function did the rest. It was an amazing experience.

The photo was very good. The rhinoceros is very close. I'm a little afraid of those parks. Good work.

Thanks! I did use some zoom, but it still was quite close for such a wild animal.

Extraordinary opportunity to take a photo of such a wonderful animal.

I congratulate you. Even if I was blind and deaf, I would be afraid to get close hehehe

A hug, friend @friendlymoose
