Its a WILD life....

There are some nice encounters here

We where at PretoriusKop in December and decided to take the H2-2 and drive along the connecting dirt road to the H1-1 on a early game drive just as the sun was coming up, we nearly did not make it. I must say this is the fastest I have seen a teenager move across the seat and into the back of the car on the opposite side to me, while I was waiting for the crunch and to feel the car being lifted

On the dirt road we came across a gentle loving white Rhino that was still sleeping on the side of the road, we approached and stopped about 5m away. Me again could only get his behind told So to gently just go past him so I can take photo's from the front. Well MR Whity did not like us approaching him and stood up and moved off the road, thinking this would allow us to pass, So started going forward , but when we got along side him he decided to charge and I mean charge. I screamed at so to put foot but before she could do that he was on us, Lucky I started to shout and bang on the door causing him to stop only cm away from the door. By this time the turbo had started to kick in and we screamed away from the danger, I then looked back to see Moshi going head over heels into the back of the car. He was sitting behind me on the side where the impact would have been and a White Rhino doing a tap dance in the middle of the dirt road, lucky he did not come after us

Thankfully we have all lived through these hair-raising adventures to tell our tales!

Angry rhinos are not very delicate....I think

Nothing like a little "turbo lag" to keep the adrenalin pumping....

Heard the one about the whale and the puffy?

I was "frolicking" one day in the Glorious Orpen swimming pool, when my gorgeous wifey traditionally "kakked" me out and told me to immediately get out of the pool!
Knowing my wife, I decided to obey the instruction, more because if I didn't, I knew the ramifications of not listening to her would be worse!
Once I hurried to the steps and got out, I realized what the "issue" was. Behind me was a puff adder, leisurely swimming towards the steps!

We called the manager, who got the snake out, and dropped it off the other side of the fence! needless to say, I have yet to frolic in the Orpen pool again!

[Flutterby]

You've had some close calls!!

Who was the whale?

[Inyati]

That would be me Flutts...

Always obey your wife, she knows what is good for you
