Safari Africana

The African savanna is home to both black and white rhino that graze peacefully on it’s lush waters. Waterways in National Parks and Wildlife Sanctuaries are also popular places to see these gigantic animals in their natural settings. The rhino is the world’s second largest land mammal and however docile and friendly they looks, rhinos can be a powerful adversary when provoked. Females usually roam grassland in small groups with their calves but males are generally solitary animals. The “white” rhino is not really white and was named thus because of the African word for “wide,” which refers to the animal’s mouth. Some of Kenya’s most endangered species are the white and black rhinos. Nairobi, Mombasa, Masai Mara, Amnoseli and Tsavo are the best places in all of Kenya to spot rhinos. The black rhino has come near to extinction because of poachers, but Lake Nakuru and Tsavo have established rhino sanctuaries which allow visitors to view these magnificent animals. Kruger National Park in South Africa is a famous home of a considerable number of both black and white rhinos. In Swaziland, the Mkhaya Game Reserve is proud to be home to the animals it has fought to protect for many years. Walking safaris in Zambia also allow safari goers to enjoy these animals in close proximity at the Mosi-O-Tunya Zoological Park at Victoria Falls, the only lace rhinos are left in Zambia. Tanzania offers rhino viewing on safari at Ngorongoro Crater, where black rhinos roam freely in the wild.
