A Black rhino with an avian hitchhiker, Etosha National Park, Namibia. Namibia is home to more than 50% of the remaining black rhinos and Etosha has become a stronghold for this endangered species. In an effort to curb poaching, rhino horns were once being cut off to remove the poacher's incentive but as a keratin tissue, it regrows. You can see the flattened horns on this rhino, evidence that they were once cut.
We will be visiting (and staying in) Etosha National Park on Days 7, 8, & 9 of the October 2022 Namibia Tour, where you can expect to witness and photograph these magnificent creatures! We will soon post the dates and a detailed itinerary for the tour, so stay tuned...
