  • Our Cause

Help Stamp Out The Extinction of Our Rhino

As of 2025, there are only 17,464 white rhino and 6421 black rhino in Africa. More than 50% of these iconic animals are protected by game farmers. The pressure on these conservancies is relentless and these wildlife conservancies need our help. Why not join in helping save the last bastions of these beautiful creatures with the opportunity of a hands-on interaction in the management of this fast-declining species?

  • Our Cause

Help Stamp Out The Extinction of Our Rhino

Across Africa, fewer than 23,000 white and black rhinos remain. Behind every one of these animals is a daily fight — against poaching, habitat pressure, rising costs, and the constant burden placed on the private conservancies and game farmers who protect more than many people realise. Their work is relentless, often unseen, and vital to the survival of one of Africa’s most iconic species.

 

Rhino Expeditions gives you the rare opportunity to step beyond the role of observer and become part of that protection effort. This is not simply a safari; it is a hands-on conservation experience where you stand alongside the people working to safeguard rhinos for future generations. Join the mission, feel the weight of the work, and leave knowing that your journey has helped protect something truly irreplaceable.

Rhino-11

Air Experience

Darting is generally from the air. At some stage you will experience a birds eye view of the ongoing operation. The pilot and veterinarian will explain each action taken by them

Ground Experience

Those of us on the ground will gently manoeuvre the rhino into the sternal recumbency position. The rhino team will take the lead, calling our eco-tourists to help when it's safe

White Rhinos

White rhinos are generally easier to work with, as they often go down in open areas. As part of this unforgettable experience, you'll be directly involved in every step of the process — from placing the eye cover and ear plugs to fitting the tracking collar and monitoring their vital signs.

Black Rhinos

Black rhino find the thickest bush to hide in and so when the drug takes effect we need to work fast.

Tracking Collar

This collar enables the rhino to be tracked and located 24/7. Your participation in these operations will help increase the survival rate of these endangered animals.

"An unforgettable week with Rhino Xpedition Africa! From tracking wildlife and collaring rhinos by helicopter, to fireside stories and sundowners under ancient baobabs, every day was completely unique and thrilling. Gavin’s care and knowledge made it all feel personal, and being part of a small group felt like joining a family. The 5-star camp was the perfect base for this once-in-a-lifetime experience"

"Jackie & Gavin (and Shann & Howard from the lodge) were exceptional hosts in every way possible for this "once in a lifetime" adventure. Being completely and truly immersed in the conservation of this herd of Rhinos, seeing and touching these majestic, wild animals in their natural habitat is a very exceptional privilege .. This experience is an exclusive, unique, extraordinary , breath taking and hands on conservation encounter that I will cherish for the rest of my life . I would like to give this adventure 5/5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 and highly recommend "Rhino Xpedition Africa" to everyone as a must do !!! "

"I’ve lived my whole life in Africa, interacting with wildlife in one way or another, living on a game ranch, raising orphaned wild animals, being part of game capture operations, observing the odd animal being sedated, flying in a helicopter looking for animals, BUT never ever have I had an experience like this. The most action packed 5 days of my life!!!! I highly highly recommend it for those who can. You have to be there to experience it. Words cannot express it enough. With Gavin as your personal guide, you never stop learning about the bush and the animals."
