More about our Rhino Tracking Experience.
|
Our experienced safari guides work hand-in-hand with the National Park’s dedicated anti-poaching unit scouts, ensuring every encounter is both safe and respectful. During a Rhino Walking activity, our guides share the challenges these animals face — from poaching to habitat loss — and explain how conservation teams are working tirelessly to safeguard their future. It’s a chance not only to connect with rhinos in the wild, but also to understand why every encounter is precious, and why protecting them matters for generations to come. This rare opportunity to trek White Rhino on foot allows you to step quietly into the rhinos’ natural habitat and witness these endangered giants up close — an unforgettable wildlife experience found in very few places on earth. On the 5th July 2003, the Matobo Hills in Zimbabwe were inscribed onto the World Heritage List by UNESCO. The area exhibits an abundance of distinctive rock landforms rising above the granite shield that covers much of the landscape of Zimbabwe. The large boulders provide ample natural shelters and have been associated with human dwelling from the early Stone Age right through to early historical times. |
