During this trail, no telemetry device is used to track the rhino. Instead, our knowledgeable guides and guests are joined by Okonjima’s dedicated anti-poaching units. These skilled teams have invested countless hours in getting to know each individual rhino, demonstrating their unwavering commitment to the conservation of these magnificent creatures within the Okonjima Nature Reserve.
Rhinoceros are critically endangered, with fewer than 30,000 rhinos living in the wild today. 

Their dramatic decline is primarily due to illegal human activities. Historically, uncontrolled hunting during the colonial era played a significant role in the major decline of white rhinos.

Today, poaching for their horns poses the most significant threat. White rhinos, in particular, are vulnerable to poaching because they are relatively unaggressive and live in herds.
Participating in this trail provides a unique opportunity to appreciate the dedication of our anti-poaching teams in the ongoing battle for rhino conservation at Okonjima.
