The Park: Exploration - White Rhino Relocation 3/3 Advisory | Exploration | Map | Restcamps | Sections | Statistics | The Park One of the more experienced rangers decided that if we tried to pull the rhino into the cage ourselves we would probably be in a lot of trouble so he got one of the four wheel drives and tied the rope to that car. That proved to be a bit to much for the rhino which was finally persuaded to get into the container.
Thanks again to Douw Grobler and the rest of his team for letting us witness this operation. It was a once in a lifetime experience! Please feel free to look at the pictures below.

I can tell you that
everybody, including me, was very pleased that the rhino decided to get into the
container because nobody wanted to see a very pissed of rhino running loose. The
rest of the operation was easy. The baby rhino almost ran into its container, no
problem at all. After that the containers were lifted onto a truck and it was
all over. The complete operation only took about 40 minutes. It was surreal to
be there. One day you're watching this kind of stuff on Discovery and National
Geographic Channel and the other day you're desperately pulling a rope trying to
prevent an angry rhino to escape.
