Thandi & Family

Thandi, meaning love, is Kareiga Game Reserve’s miracle poaching survivor after being targeted by poachers in March 2012. Having survived the horrors of that night, thanks to the care and attention from the vets and ranger team and her incredible fight for survival, she slowly learnt to be a ‘normal rhino’ once again and has so far given birth to five calves.

ABOUT THANDI AND HER FAMILY 

Thandi’s story is one of survival and hope. After miraculously recovering from a brutal poaching attack in 2012, she has gone on to give birth to five healthy calves: Thembi, Colin, Mthetho, Siya, and Zolani, and become a grandmother three times. Thandi’s resilience is a powerful symbol in the fight against rhino poaching, and her family embodies our motto – Every Rhino Counts.

YOUR ADOPTION REALLY DOES HELP RHINOS 

When you adopt Thandi and her family, you support their care and contribute to the fight against rhino poaching. Thandi and her growing legacy represent hope for the future of the species. Your adoption ensures their safety and well-being, while also aiding the wider effort to protect rhinos in the region. 

When you adopt, you will be helping with: 

  • Protecting Thandi and her family through ongoing anti-poaching efforts and 24/7 surveillance. 
  • Providing supplementary feed to keep them healthy and strong. 
  • Creating and maintaining a safe habitat for Thandi and her growing family, allowing them to thrive in a secure environment. 
  • Supporting conservation efforts that contribute to the survival of the rhino population in South Africa. 

 

A small percentage of your adoption goes towards operational and administrative costs to ensure these vital programs continue.
