So until this point the most exciting event of the day was being charged by a rhino about half an hour prior, at Ol Pej almost out the gate. We were watching a typical ate afternoon scene: impala, zebras, hartebeest, all alert for some reason. There are three jackals near by but we don’t think that all those animals are concerned about them so we keep trying to find whether there is another predator. Nope, doesn’t seem so. We are so absorbed by the jackals that we don’t notice for a while that there is a family of rhinos a bit further away. We drive to them: a big male, two females and a calf. The male is guarding the family, alert. We are taking pictures of the rhinos when suddenly the males decides to charge. Fast, gaining speed. Jakson quickly responded by starting the car and accelerating away. The rhino kept up for a while but finally stopped. Our hearts were punding.
Until this point the most exciting part has been the meeting with Malcolm Brew and Sid Roberts from Microsoft 4Afrika White Spaces Mawingu project. Looks like this project may be able to provide the bandwidth necessary for the server to go on Azure cloud and to be accessible remotely.
