This is an incredible opportuntity to get up close to a magnificent rhinoceros and to do your bit for conservation at the same time. As rhino numbers continue to plummet this is taking part in an activity that could be make or break for the survival of this ancient and highly endangered creature.
Witness the darting of a rhino, and assist the veterinary team in tagging the sleeping rhino’s ear for research and security monitoring, before it is released back into the wild.
We are committed to ensuring the survival of Africa’s rhinos and, as such, we implement best practice research and management practices. Ear notches enable researchers to correctly identify different individuals on the Reserve. Each rhino is given a unique ear notch number, and microchips are placed in the horn and body for identification and security purposes. Measurements, horn shavings and skin samples are also taken for DNA analysis.
