THE ADVENTURE ENDS : PART 6 - RHINOS, LIONS & DINNER!

Our friends, Karen and Dud had returned to Johannesburg after a ten day tour along the "Garden Route", touring from CapeTown to Jeffrey's Bay. They had a marvellous time, BUT…. they still had not seen a rhinoceros!! They had seen every other African animal they could possibly see, but not a rhino!  So, I had to make sure they saw one, before they left.
My friend told me about a nature reserve about an hour out of Jozi. I drove the three of us to 
The Rhino and Lion Nature Reserve at Krugersdorp. I thought it was going to be more like a zoo, but no! I had to call upon my newly acquired skills and become "Ranger Di"!




Sables and an Eland


White lions lazing about in the winter sun


Two different male adult lions enjoying the sunshine, too. 



Cheetahs trying to get out of the wind.


Ahh..the rhino, surrounded by waterbuck and ostriches !


 A farewell dinner at a favourite restaurant, Signature.
Farewell, Karen and Dud!  It has been fantastic having you come and visit us. 
See you back in Australia!
