I don't know where to start. From beginning to end this was a truly magical trip. From being greeted by the resident mongoose on my arrival to the final evening's farewell appearance of the bull rhino at the lodge there was an abundance of animals to see every day. I was also fortunate to be present when they fitted trackers to two of the rhinos and the bull elephant. This involved getting the vet up in the helecopter to dart them and we followed in the car to watch the whole process. I had a mixed bag of jobs, from helping to clear an enclosure of all the bushes and long grass, feeding the carvivores who had to stay in enclosures due to the nature of their background, cleaning out the hyenas' watering hole, monitoring the cameras for poachers, to tracking rhino. We got up close to so may amazing animals both in enclosures and all the rest in the wild and learned such an awful lot about the flora and fauna. Every member of staff made us feel very welcome and one of the family and it was very sad to leave. I shall be returning for sure.
