This is how rhinos should be seen, in their natural terrain, unfenced and with room to roam.

The actual location is Imfolozi and Hluhluwe Game Reserve in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. This is not only one of South Africa’s oldest and largest wildlife reserves but also the world’s largest repository for rhinoceroses, home to about 2,000, mainly southern white, though with some black. It’s also a major poaching site. In 2011 in South Africa, more than 450 rhinos were killed for their horn, often by well-organised and well-armed gangs, using helicopters and with a supply route to northern ports for export to the Far East.
