Photo by @andywcoleman // We spent the afternoon looking for leopard in a forested area where they are known to reside. We didn't find any, so we decided to head towards a cheetah sighting we heard about from another ranger on the radio. As we were driving, our tracker spotted a lone black rhino in a field. We had seen many white rhino during the day, but this was the first sighting of the rarer of the species. He looked magnificent standing in full profile in the golden grass.
