    Tracking the White Rhinoceros – A Safari Adventure in Zambia

    December 6, 2016 - By 

    Even now, our safari adventure in Zambia seems surreal. Moments ago, we met a truck full of Zambian security employees armed with guns inside a reserve and sanctuary.

Sun Setting The sun begins a slow surrender into the horizon, casting an incredible glow on this safari adventure. It is our last night in Zambia. We…
