Recently I accompanied Rae Safaris on an unusual Tourism meets Conservation safari at the Pilansberg National Park, with a group of veterinarians and animal behaviourists.
For the first couple of days we used telemetry to track down predators with the exceptionally knowledgeable and passionate John Power and Andrew Rae. Then followed up with a series of white and black rhino notchings and chipping with the Pilansberg Rhino Protection Service.
This was an exceptional few days where we got up close and personal to one of Africa's greatest of mammals in a meaningful way, that contributes not only towards their protection but also to our scientific understanding of them.
