    Good to have you back blogging from the NNP. Unbelievable how quickly it starts to dry up after the rains have stopped. Let’s hope that this year we’ll see lots of rain.

    Have you been able to see the rhino, which had the small calf at the end of last year?

    Looking forward to more pics and news from the park.
