Safari: Black Rhino#

We had a thrilling safari experience, where we initially had car trouble after we headed out early in the morning. We were deep in the wilderness at that time and my twin sister got really scared. This demonstrated how remote parts of Africa are, although after waiting for two hours, people came to fix it, after which we continued on the trip. In the end we encountered the rare Black Rhino, which we were aiming to find, so it ended up being a good story.
