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
