Tracking
"Look for a lovely thing and you will find it. It is not far - it never will be far."

Accompanied by the experts from Save the Rhino Trust we spent a few hours looking for this male Black Rhino. At last we found him, wondering alone in his territory, happily foraging for food.
Black Rhino have very poor eyesight but to compensate for this, an excellent sense of smell and astute hearing.
Once located, it was important to be as quiet as we could. If we were heard the rhino could panic and perhaps charge.
It was a wonderful thing to watch this magnificent beast, so happy in his own solitude, naturally responding to his environment.
To give animals the space they need to be free, whilst still allowing the land to provide for the needs of humans, is an ongoing theme on the African continent.
Often there is conflict between man and beast.
It is a delicate balance.
Up in the Palmwag Concession, northern Namibia, the conservation of the Black Rhino has been made a priority. The team are absolutely committed to protecting these animals, researching their behaviour patterns and allowing people access to them - in a sensitive way.
These men use all their senses, awareness and intelligence to feel their way towards the rhino. When they work they have to be 100% present. They move with concentration and care. It is a privilege to watch them - so in tune and knowledgeable about their environment.
