"KRS with ranger" Serowe Things to Do Tip by smirnofforiginal

It is so cheap, the rangers are friendly, enthusiastic, have a wealth of information - do not understand why anybody would opt to drive themselves here... unless they have already been out with a ranger!

Our ranger, Sidney, was incredible. He simply knew everything, his eye sight was incredible - sometimes, even when he pointed things out to us we still could not see it!

We went out with Sidney at dusk - a great time to go out (but need layers as vehicles are open and it does get very cold!).

We saw LOTS of white rhino and they were so close I could have touched them. My hand on my heart I can say my drive with Sidney is one of the most magical moments of my life which I will never forget and, I hope my children never forget either.

We did not see any black rhino which was a shame but I could spot black rhino poo from white rhino pooh,at a glance by the time we got back to our accommodation! They do apparently have a black rhino who, due to having had to be hand reared by the sanctuary, believes he is more "domestic" han "wild" and there was every chanmce that we would espy us and come "pay us a visit!"

As well as the rhino the sanctuary is home to a variety of other animals - I believe he said 30, including, leopard, caracal, porcupine, hyena, zebra, blue wildebeest (thus named because of their blue eyes), giraffe, eland.... as well as over 230 species of birds.

It cost 333 Pula for 4 people to go out with the ranger on a game drive.
