Concerned travellers to the continent can actively participate in ensuring that future generations will still have a chance to see rhinos roaming free in the wilds of Africa. Together with dedicated teams of scientists, veterinarians, conservation bodies, and governments, the monetary contribution when booking such a specialist wildlife excursion is of immense value.
Planning a hands-on rhino conservation safari should, therefore, be high on the list of the tourist with a conscious and those looking to preserve for the future. Instead of simply snapping a picture, walk in the shoes of those dedicated individuals and share in their daily struggles and successes in safeguarding this special species.
Safari-goers on a specific rhino conservation safari, have the opportunity to experience an array of activities when it comes to this important endeavour. These include anti-poaching, ear notching for research and identification, DNA-sample collection, capturing for relocation, de-horning for safety, release back into the wild, and feeding orphans at rehabilitation refuge.
Such a rendezvous may only last a couple of hours, but visitors are sure to gain and leave with a deep appreciation and understanding of the perseverance and perils of the rhino. The moral recognition and financial support to its protectors are furthermore of immeasurable value.
