I'm envious! That's putting it mildly too! I'll go with more common wildlife from Zoo Lake yesterday!

Spotted hyena. The tour/game guides knew where there was a den with young, but they weren't out any time we checked that location. The only hyena seen was this one during one of the evening-to-night drives. It looks even more menacing, sinister and untrustworthy with the eye-shine.

Lioness - STORY: We had two wildlife sighting tours each day, one starting at 6AM and going until about 9:30, a second starting at 4PM (16:00 hr) and going until well after sunset, about 7:30PM (19:30 hr). Each had a halfway-time stop for stretch & refreshments, the afternoon stop corresponding almost exactly with sunset. On our last afternoon-early nighttime stop they served beer, wine & simple mixed drinks from near to well after sunset. When we re-boarded the tour vehicle and turned on the headlights, this lioness was less that 20 meters from where we were having drinks, and her partner shortly emerged from the brush at the far side of the area where we had been standing moments before - the two had us surrounded. Several of our fellow tourists were totally freaked out by two lionesses so close to where we had been on foot. Had anyone stepped away from the group to relieve themselves behind the brush..................

And lucky. All the other pictures I took of her, after she stood up and sauntered away, were badly blurred.

I seem to remember those rhinos, and their friends.
