Mar.13.2021 Most people heading out on an African safari will have a fairly traditional list of animals in mind that they are hoping to see. But if you dig a little deeper, search a little harder, look a little longer, maybe you will spot something a little different. Finding one of these not-often-seen animals can really make your safari extra special. 1. Black Rhino: Etosha National Park, Namibia The black rhino is the rarer and smaller of Africa's two rhino species, though it is still a rather imposing animal, with its tank-like body and two lethal horns and can still grow to an impressive height of 6 feet at the shoulder -- which isnât small at all! Once found across Southern and East Africa, the black rhino is now considered critically endangered, with fewer than 5,000 left in the wild.
