HELPING RHINOS & KARIEGA FOUNDATION PRESENT:
HELPING RHINOS CONSERVATION SAFARI
Join Helping Rhinos in May 2025 for a unique opportunity to go behind the scenes and experience a real-life rhino conservation safari at the inaugural Helping Rhinos Conservation Safari.
Guests will not only enjoy the rich diversity and natural beauty of the amazing wildlife and stunning landscapes on Kariega Game Reserve in South Africa’s Eastern Cape but will participate in exclusive rhino conservation initiatives and play a very real part in safe-guarding rhino in this key rhino stronghold.
Home of miracle poaching survivor Thandi and her ever-growing family of rhino children and grandchildren, the incredible Helping Rhinos Conservation Safari will take place 6th to 12th May 2025 for 6 nights and will be a must for the discerning rhino conservation supporter and luxury safari goer.
During your stay, you will be at the beating heart of rhino conservation as a valued part of an exclusive group of like-minded wildlife conservationists for a truly behind the scenes rhino conservation experience led by Helping Rhinos’ CEO Simon Jones.
The team have curated this unique and special stay with this in mind where you will:
- Participate in a rhino veterinary procedure with world-famous wildlife vet, Dr Will Fowlds
- Hear about the history of the Reserve and meet Kariega Foundation’s Director, Lindy Sutherland, who will also give insight into the developing conservation picture at Kariega and the broader Eastern Cape
- Spend a morning on the reserve with Kariega’s in-house ecologist and learn about the complexities of reserve management and ecological considerations
- Share a love of nature with experienced Field Guides on multiple Safari drives including sundowners with spectacular views and vistas, where you will learn how you are contributing to rhino conservation
- Meet the Anti-Poaching Unit and experience a K9 and Mounted Horse Unit training demonstration
- Go on a bush walk and experience approaching wild animals on foot in their natural habitat, perhaps even the opportunity to get close to Thandi and her family
- Take a river cruise along the upper reaches of the Bushman’s River for exceptional bird-watching, peace and tranquillity and enjoy lunch in the coastal town of Kenton-on-Sea
- Enjoy time to simply relax in the lodge; read a book by the pool or book a spa treatment (at additional expense)
