Rhino Wars

Conservation War Crimes

Sadly the war on rhinos is raging and poaching is rapidly on the rise.

Before going commercial and entering the tourism market, the HillsNek Safaris lodge operated as a base camp for our White Rhino Monitoring & Anti-Poaching Programme.

Grocott's Mail - Grahamstown's oldest independent newspaper - recently ran an on-line article on this topic and interviewed the HillsNek Team where a diligent and dedicated anti-poaching and monitoring programme is firmly in place.

At HillsNek Safaris our mission is still first and foremost to PROTECT THE ENDANGERED RHINO. The ruthless and unneccessary slaying of one of the oldest animals on this planet is deplorable. To think that in our lifetime this animal could go extinct is unfathomable and despairing.

We put out an urgent call to all to be proactive. Spread the word and help create an awareness of the plight of the rhino. Tell your family and friends. Let your children know. Tell the educators. Every effort is needed to help combat this war.
