Whilst waiting for more bits to arrive I went on a four day walking safari in the Kruger NP with www.transfrontiers.com. This was my best vfm safari yet.

If you have never done one you must do so when you get into southern Africa. There is nothing quite like getting close to a huge animal. It's just not the same in a vehicle. Would you rather have sex or just watch?

'Don't take any photos once he's spotted us' whispered Andy my guide.

The rhino was munching away and getting closer and closer. Suddenly, when only 10 metres away, he looked up.

He was looking directly at us.

He took a step nearer.

Andy loaded a round into his 458 rifle. Adrenaline surged through me.

Another step.

Would he charge? Would Andy shoot?

Andy repeatedly smacked his hand on his gun and called out.

The rhino hesitated. He snorted, waggled his huge head and, with surprising agility turned around and jogged off into the bush.

Wow.
