Witnessing these animals in the wild does make one wonder why humans are poaching them for a horn, after all they can chew their own nails for the same effect, or go buy viagra!
Watching them roaming on the African savannas is breath taking!
For sure, it's such a senseless tragedy. Thanks for dropping by!

I have always dreamed of going on a safari and it seems as though you have been on several. I'm a bit jealous! That must have been a fantastic experience. It is truly tragic the way that these creatures have been hunted to near extinction and I might be mistaken but i seem to remember a story in the past year or so about the last remaining white male rhino dying not long ago? I could be wrong.
I have heard these trips are relatively expensive... since you've done it, can you confirm?
I hope you make more posts like this because that was just awesome.
I've lived and worked in Africa for a few years so it's been fairly convenient to go on them. I think everyone should go on one at least one, because it helps you understand how challenging and complicated it is to conserve these animals and habitats. You are right, the last northern white rhino Sudan passed away last year. His grave stone is pictured.
The price really depends on the length of the trip and the ease of access. Ol Pajeta was relatively close to Nairobi, so a 2-day trip was about $500 per person for 2 people. Nairobi National Park is right next to the city, and you can do a game drive for about $100. A 12-day safari going to a few parks will cost you about $3500 a person. It gets a bit cheaper if you book more than 2 people.

I'm glad you enjoyed the post, and thanks for your comments!
Those prices sound considerably smaller than what I had imagined. Very doable. Hopefully I'll be able to make it one day because who wouldn't enjoy that? Thanks for the very helpful reply :)

For sure, it made the trip totally worth it.
I have never had the opportunity to be close up to these awesome huge rhinos i hope to do one of those safari trips in the near future it is on my bucket list i love the way they are so well loved having there own personal rhino graveyard that's really cool. Thanks for sharing this story i did enjoy reading it 👍
Thanks, it's a shame there is so few that you can actually name each one and have a graveyard for them. It would be impossible to have a graveyard for zebras. Hopefully they can turn it around.
I hate seeing that cruelty for greed , hope it does turn around some day 👍
There are supposedly still a few rhinos left in the forests of Vietnam, but definitely all gone in Cambodia.
I read the Asian ones are very small and only have one horn!
