Danger in the Dust (2013)
“A park ranger arrived in a four-wheel drive and took them back to their campsite, while calling for reinforcements to ferry Matunde to a clinic for a check-up and to pull his truck from the ditch in the morning.
‘Well, we managed to see four of the Big Five,’ said Peter, as they sat around the campfire after their evening meal. ‘I hope that was enough of an adventure for you, Joe.’ ‘I was terrified!’ Aesha butted in. ‘That rhino was determined to make mincemeat of us.’ ‘I thought you’d shot it ...when the gun went off, Dad,’ said Joe. ‘I’m so glad you didn’t.

‘I wish we’d seen a leopard in the wild, though,’ said Joe.
Exhaustion was taking hold and they returned to their tents.
Joe fell asleep with the face of the rhino staring at him, and woke the next morning from a dream where a rhino was about to charge at their car back home in England.MoreLess
