Zimbabwe - Matopos National Park

After Andy, we lucked out an had Ian as our guide of the Matopos National Park.  He was a wealth of information and truly dedicated to trying to save his rhinos.  Part of the day was spent meeting one of the local tribes.  The chief was a truly funny man and almost ended up with 2 wives from our group - all for the bargain price of 200 cows.  :)  In the end, we lucked out and after a full day of searching for the elusive rhino, we were able to get up close and personal with a mom, her young daughter, and 1 month old baby boy rhino.  Amazing.
