ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE

A Global call to protect Earth's last rhinos - join the fight to save them with a hands-on experience

Help Stamp Out The Extinction of Our Rhino

Our Cause

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?

Follow Us on This Experience

Rhinos are teetering on the edge of extinction—and their survival depends on swift, sustained action. At Rhino Xpedition Africa, we work directly with these magnificent creatures, providing critical support through:

• Protective security measures

• Translocation to safer habitats

• Tracking collar updates and replacements

• Expert veterinary care

• Humane horn removal when necessary for their safety

Witness the resilience of the Baobab Rhino herd in Limpopo, South Africa.

Be part of this urgent conservation mission—experience it firsthand and help shape a future where rhinos thrive.

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

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

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.

Participant Stories

"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"

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.
