Wild Wonderful World

“Thank you for arranging the most spectacular trip of our lifetime. And we have done a lot of trips. It couldn’t have been better and we have continued the hot drink with amarula at home.

There is nothing better in a holiday for us to be watching wildlife and it we so good. The guide was superb.

I didn’t even feel the a380 take off so for someone sacred of flying do London to Johannesburg as a thing.

We very much appreciated the help through the airport.

We feel like we couldn’t have asked for better.” - The Farrell Family

Come with us on the start of a new story …

After a total of 9 Southern Ground Hornbill chicks successfully fledged from their nests (including from this one!), maintenance season is upon us.

While the birds are not breeding, they don’t occupy the nest - which gives the team time for nest replacements, fixes and adjustments.

On this day, Christina joined Kyle and Carrie, together with July and Robbie from Monwana Game Lodge to replace one of the old composite nests for a newer, better ventilated nest box.

Thanks to July & Robbie’s assistance, the research vehicle’s winch (sponsored by WWW), and Kyle and Carrie’s experience after already replacing more than 50 of these - this went extremely smoothly.

We hope the birds will take to this new nest and continue their breeding success next year!

Would you be keen to help the team during a nest replacement like this?



The new nest box has gone through rigorous scientific development and testing, and includes a new roof that will eventually house a temperature gauge and camera.

After 50+ of these, Kyle’s in his element climbing large trees!

A little example of how the birds damaged the composite nest. The team chooses to swop them out with the new boxes to avoid using unnatural materials in the landscape and to help the birds manage rising temperatures. The Southern Ground Hornbill nests during the hottest summer months, and Carrie’s PhD has found that breeding success is affected by climate change!

Rigging up the new nest, ready to hoist up.

Robbie shares his experience!

The big moment!

Some final adjustments and …

Success!! Thanks to Robbie and July from Monwana for joining Christina and the team!!

Thank you to our donors for helping us feed these orphaned and now fully rehabilitated rhino! 🦏

REHABILITATED ORPHANED RHINOS GIVE BIRTH IN THE WILD

Six orphaned rhinos, rescued as poaching victims from different Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife (Ezemvelo) reserves around 2017, have given birth after being rehabilitated and released back into the wild.

Ezemvelo's Game Capture and Veterinary Manager, Mr Dumisani Zwane, says the birth of these calves represents hope for the future of rhino conservation.

“Rehabilitating rhinos has proven to be a true conservation success. With the right intervention, orphaned rhinos can return to the wild after time spent in captivity, breed naturally, and contribute to South Africa's wild rhino population,” said Mr Zwane.

Mr Zwane says reaching this milestone requires years of commitment from the moment an orphaned rhino is rescued.

“Orphaned rhinos remain in rehabilitation for about four to five years, until they are ready to be released back into the wild. Their rescue, veterinary care, rehabilitation, release and ongoing monitoring are a proof to the power of partnership,” said Mr Zwane.

Ezemvelo's Game Capture and Veterinary Unit is the custodian of all orphaned rhino rescue, rehabilitation and release procedures. This work is made possible through collaboration between government organisations, private rhino orphanages and NGOs, who contribute towards the costs involved in caring for and rehabilitating these rhinos.

Ezemvelo extends its special gratitude to the following conservation organisations for their role in the success of this project:
• African Wildlife Vets
• Wild Wonderful World
• Wildlife ACT
• Wild Tomorrow
• Ubuntu Trust
• Zululand Rhino Orphanage
• WWF-SA
• REX, The Rhino Conservation Trust
