Khama Rhino Sanctuary: Part 1, The Dung Beetle

We spent the weekend at the Khama Rhino Sanctuary. They have these nice little chalets that are well equiped with a full bathroom, bed linens and dishes for about $50 a night.
When we started off on our first game drive in the reserve we came across a couple dozen dung beetles scurrying about on a giant mound of poo. Dillon and I were fascinated by these guys and got out of the car to get a closer look. We took a few pictures and left them to thier work. We got back in the car to continued our game drive. We didn't go more than 25 feet before we saw the depositor of the poo mound; a huge male white rhino just behind a bush from where we stood moments before.
There are not any large preditors in the Rhino Sanctuary, but we decided to stay in the car from then on while on our game drives.
That however was not our closest encounter with a rhino on our trip. More on that in part II.
