Final morning at Kings Camp

We were again woken early and had coffee and Juice prior to meeting Jade and Albert for our morning game drive. We boarded the Land Rover and crossed the river in the early morning gloom and noticed the wind had picked up and a cloud bank had moved in overnight. As we came over a small rise we could see rain in the distance and hoped we would not get wet. We were going to be looking for Rhino this morning and the wind would make it hard, as they would be tucked up in the bush keeping warm.
We drove for a while searching the bush when we heard on the radio that there were a family of Hyenas laying outside their den, so we decided to have a look at them as they were close by.
When we arrived we were treated to a mother Hyena suckling two young and another 2 Hyena laying out in the sun. We stayed for a while and watched as they socialised and then walked into the bush.
As we resumed our search for Rhino Jade informed us that there were a couple of Lions close by and asked if we wanted to see them. We decided we would stick with looking for Rhino as we had a very good Lion encounter the day before.
We continued our search for Rhino and dropped Albert off where they were last seen the day before in the hope he could track them. We circled around a dam and continued along the river bank in the direction Albert said they had gone, after about 10 minutes I thought I saw something through the Mopane trees and we stopped for a quick look but saw nothing but a grey tree stump. We drove on a little further and picked up Albert then turned around to begin the half hour drive back to camp having not seen our Rhino. As we passed the Grey stump Albert indicated he thought he saw something and we stopped, then from behind the stump we saw movement and out of the trees came a Mother Rhino and her Calf.
It turned out I had indeed seen a Rhino on the way past the stump the first time and it had stood still becoming invisible among the trees.

We stayed with them for around 20 minutes before leaving them to their own devices and heading back to camp for breakfast.

After breakfast we returned to our room and packed our gear before walking around the grounds one last time. We said our goodbyes to Albert and Jade and the rest of the staff before checking out and beginning our journey back to Nelspruit.

When we arrived back in Nelspruit Greg was there to greet us and was eager to hear what we had seen and to get out and see some of the wildlife for himself.  With that in mind Greg and I decided to spend the next day in Kruger National Park.
