Sobre o programa

Join Nkonzo Wildlife in an immersive study of white rhino behavior, with a specific focus on understanding the effects of dehorning—a crucial technique employed to mitigate the risk of poaching. This opportunity allows you to engage directly with a team of dedicated rangers and seasoned researchers, working on the front lines of conservation.
As part of this initiative, you will participate in fieldwork that involves tracking rhinos, monitoring their health and behavior, and collecting data that will contribute to comprehensive conservation strategies. The insights gained from this study are vital for developing effective measures to protect these majestic creatures.

In addition to hands-on experience, you'll have the chance to delve into the complexities of wildlife management and conservation science. Your contributions will play a significant role in shaping policies and practices aimed at ensuring the survival of white rhinos in their natural habitats.
This project is not only an opportunity to make a tangible impact on rhino conservation but also to enhance your understanding of ecological balance, species protection, and the challenges facing wildlife conservationists today. Whether you're an aspiring conservationist, a seasoned researcher, or simply passionate about wildlife, this experience will be both educational and profoundly rewarding.

Dia típico

A typical day starts at 7 a.m. with field activities such as collecting giraffe or rhino data, birding, and other observations. We return to camp at 11 a.m. for lunch and a break, though sometimes we pack lunch and stay out in the field. In the afternoon, we continue fieldwork on our way back to camp, and if necessary, head out again for data entry or identifying camera trap photos. Saturdays involve morning fieldwork, afternoons in camp, and a special evening braai (South African BBQ). Sundays are days off for rest and personal activities. Our program emphasizes practical, hands-on field experience.
