White Rhinos are very chilled if the engine is off..They have been known to come and investigate like this one did a few years back

Re: Rhino - Black & White
LOL yes he did get close ..He started his walk at nearly 300 metres from us and slowly got closer and closer ..I just left the engine off so as to not alarm him ..But not to worry I took this with a 500mm prime lens at f4 so the distance between us was very compressed

Re: Rhino - Black & White
We were charged by a black rhino in Kruger. It stopped millimetres from the car. It was so close to the front bumber we couldn't even see it's head. It then backed off and as we put foot to race past it, it charged again, and again for some reason it stopped just short of hitting us. That was really scary!!
