Where are the Best Places to See Rhinos in Africa?
Where are the Best Places to See Rhinos in Africa? With its big, squat body and big, central horn sticking out of its head, the rhino may be the most interesting animal in the world. The rhinoceros is very shy and only comes out at night, even though it looks very dangerous. You might not even see one if you go to a lot of wildlife places.
To get the most out of your African trip, you should visit the parks where rhinos are known to be common. Some of these parks are lucky enough to have a lot of these interesting animals. Some parks have set aside areas as sanctuaries to protect and promote the breeding of these mostly endangered species.
We can take you to the parks and refuges where you can see black and white rhinos. This is an unforgettable safari experience that you will never forget.
Kifaru Ark in Nairobi National Park
This one-of-a-kind park is only a short drive from downtown Nairobi, but it feels like a real animal sanctuary, with lions, cheetahs, giraffes, and rhinos. People have called it the “Kifaru Ark,” where “kifaru” in Kiswahili means “elephant.”
Black rhinos live in large groups in the park. Because of a carefully planned breeding scheme that keeps them safe, there are now so many of them that the reserve gives rhinos to other parks in Kenya.
African rhinos in Lake Nakuru National Park
At this lake park in the Rift Valley, you can see lions, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, and rare water birds. But we’re here to see rhinos, and this area does not let us down. The rhino refuge in the park was the first in Kenya. It opened in 1984 with just two rhinos.
This group has grown to include more than 150 rhinos, which is especially good news since the number of rhinos in Africa as a whole is going down.
Wildlife Refuge Ol Pejeta
You can see all of Africa’s “Big Five” animals here, which are the lion, the leopard, the elephant, the buffalo, and the rhino. There aren’t many of them in this park, but it does have two of the last two northern white rhinos left in the world, which makes it very special.
In a carefully protected area, you can meet Najin and Fatu, the last two northern white rhinos left in the world and the last members of their subspecies. Since they are the last two of their kind, they are always safe from thieves with armed guards and other defenses. But this is where you can get a close look at biological past.
First, Ol Pejeta Conservancy is part of Tsavo West National Park.
The Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary is built on 70 square kilometers (27 square miles) of land and is home to over 80 rhinos. It is one of Kenya’s oldest and biggest parks. The good news is that their total number is growing thanks to breeding programs and safety steps at sanctuaries like Ngulia.
Fifty years ago, there were several hundred thousand rhinos living in Africa. Now, only 20,000 live in parks and sanctuaries. Heroic work is being done all over the continent to protect this beautiful species from poachers and international criminal groups.
And the money you spend as a tourist helps save our rhinos. For a chance to see the beautiful rhino, just get in touch with us at Safari Trips to Kenya.
