Good morning to you. My name is Sydney Modo. I’m the guide for today. I’ll be taking you for today’s 6o’clock morning game drive. Welcome to Khama Rhino Sanctuary, which is a community-based project owned by three villages: Serowe, Mabeleapodi and Paje.
Khama Rhino Sanctuary was formed in 1989 and it opened its doors to the public in 1993. The main objective was to reintroduce rhinos in Botswana.
In Botswana we used to have plenty of rhinos in the northern side of Okavango and Chobe, but due to poaching activities in those areas, all the rhinos were wiped out. At some point, the country was left with only four rhinos. In the whole country. That’s when the idea of coming up with this project came about. When this project started there were no funds. We had to rely on donors, such as the European Union, several non-government organisations, as well as big companies in the country. The government of Botswana also played a role in trying to support us.
Eventually, the money was available. The project kick-started, and we started doing the fences. We had to go into the wilderness to capture the four rhinos which were left. One of them, out of those four, had some bullet wounds. When he came here, he died. Eight rhinos were donated by South Africa and black rhinos came from Zimbabwe. The rest of the rhinos were captured in the bush. Every time we would spot some rhinos we would go and capture them, together with the Department of Wildlife.
Today, as we speak, we have 40 white rhinos and four black rhinos. We’ve taken out about 20 rhinos to other areas of the country. The rhino population in Khama Rhino Sanctuary is doing fine, and Khama Rhino Sanctuary is known for its best rhino-monitoring. In the whole country of Botswana we have about 150 to 160 rhinos. 40 white rhinos have been found here, and 4 black ones. One thing to note again is that ten black rhinos are in Botswana, and four are here in Khama Rhino Sanctuary, so we hold almost 50% of the rhino population in Botswana.
Our rhinos are doing fine, and we have some of the best-trained rangers. The army also helps us in terms of security – the army known as the BDF - they patrol this area 24/7. As we speak right now, they are in the bush doing some patrols. Our rangers are doing rhino monitoring, which is done on a daily basis.
Apart from rhinos, we also have other animals. We have giraffes, kudus, elands, gemsbok, oryxes, blue wildebeests, impalas, steenboks, springboks, warthogs, springhares, some animals that are active at night, such as bushbabies, springhares, aardvarks, and we also have cats such as leopards and cheetahs. But it’s not easy to see them around at this time because currently it’s the peak season and there’s a lot of movement in the park. But you can spot some of these animals, especially during the night, if you are having a night game drive. Unless it’s quiet during the day, that’s when you can see some of these animals. We also have dogs such as jackals, brown hyenas, as well as wild dogs. We also have 250 species of birds.

BOTSWANA, KHAMA RHINO SANCTUARY
Botswana - Khama Rhino Sanctuary
Zdjęcia z Sanktuarium Khana Rhino w Botswanie wykonane przez Mariana Ordysińskiego w kwietniu 2012 r. .Khama Rhino Sanctuary jest nowatorskim projektem zapoczątkowanym przez lokalną ludność niedaleko Serowe w Botswanie. Założony w 1992 roku, aby pomóc w ratowaniu nosorożców i przywrócić ten obszar do poprzedniego stanu naturalnego.
Khama Rhino Sanctuary zajmuje około 4.300 hektarów piachów Kalahari, z centralną częścią pokrytą wysokimi trawami z kilkoma naturalnymi zbiornikami wody.
Chyba najważniejsze że obok znajduje się baza wojsk (Botswana Defence Force). Wojsko regularnie patroluje cały teren, nawet w czasie naszego safari natknęliśmy się na wojskowy pojazd.
Patelnia Serwe jest idealnym środowiskiem dla nosorożców białych i innych dzikich zwierząt, natomiast gęste krzewy w południowej części Sanktuarium sprzyjają bardziej żyrafom. Do tej pory 35 białych i 4 czarnych nosorożców zostało przeniesionych do Sanktuarium. Pierwsze cztery przybyły w lutym 1993 roku z północnej Botswany. Safari w Khama Rhino Sanctuary trwa około dwóch godzin, prowadzone przez dobrze wyszkolonych i bardzo kompetentnych rangerów.
Sanktuarium jest domem dla innych dzikich zwierząt, które osiedliły się w sposób naturalny lub zostały przeniesione takich jak zebra, gnu pręgowane, żyrafa, eland, springbok, impala, gemsbok, kudu, steenbok, lampart, szakal, hieny brunatne i wiele innych.
Ponad 230 gatunków ptaków zostały również zidentyfikowanych, w tym bocian Abdim i dzięcioł brodaty.
Sanktuarium czynne jest codziennie w godzinach od 8:00 do 18:30. Dostępne jest zakwaterowanie na kempingu Mokongwa sytuowanym w niewielkiej odległości od bramy wjazdowej i jest dostępne dla samochodów z konwencjonalnym napędem

#RaceForRhinos: #BotswanaUnplugged #IloveBotswana #TourismMinister #TshekediKhama #MediaInterview
Botswana Unplugged Editor: Moses Kago Maruping (Twitter and IG: @RudeboyNecta) recently joined a team of animal experts courtesy of Botswana Tourism Organisation (BTO) for some of the most visceral moments one can ever experience, as they captured two rhinos (a female and a bull) from Khama Rhino Sanctuary near Serowe, which were released into Makgadikgadi National Park in Sua Pan (Sowa); an existing journey to save one of Africa's most iconic species.
Despite decades of research to the contrary, a myth persists that the horn of a rhinoceros has medicinal qualities for humans.
Even today, one rhino is poached for its horn every 7.5 hours worldwide—and only 20,000 rhinos remain in the wild.
With the World Rhino Day coming up on September 22, Botswana still remains a save haven dedicated to saving this majestic species.
Rhinos without Borders is a partnership between Great Plains Foundation and & Beyond. Together, they are on a mission to find the right formula of conservation, communities, and commerce that will make a lasting, sustainable difference to the world’s wildlife.
Rhinos Without Borders program is relocating rhinos on a scale never before seen, moving 100 of them from the highest-density poaching areas in South Africa to the safest regions in Botswana.

Khama Rhino Sanctuary Rhino Traffic Jam
Traffic jam in the Khama Rhino Sanctuary. When the sun sets everybody has to leave the park; but what happens if the Rhino's need to take the same road home?!
