Big animals in the background

    Does anyone think these are rhinos?

    Definitely not rhinos. Most likely topis or hartebeest, I can't see the horns very well in the images. The color seems a bit dark for hartebeest but I can also not see the characteristic dark patches that topis have...

    Topi seems to be a good call. You can maybe make out the dark patches here: ASG0010pve and see the horns here: ASG0010pvj, though in neither picture do they get very close.

    There should also be a button for unidentifiable as there have been photos with animals in them but due to lighting, camera flare or various other reasons you cannot make out what the animal is.
