Rhino and Lion Nature Reserve

Post by Sharifa »

When Duke has colleagues visiting from overseas we always end up at Rhino and Lion Nature Reserve
which is about an hour from where we live. It is a place known as ‘The Nearest Faraway Place.’

The Rhino and Lion Park sits within the boundary of the ‘Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site.’

It is a privately owned game reserve and opened its doors to the public in 1990. It started its beginnings as a safe haven for two white rhino and a few rare bucks. Today the Park is home to a variety of very rare and endangered species from all over the world and has a game head count of about 600.

Here are some photos from the Reserve
