South Africa’s Kruger is on the frontline of rhino conservation. More than half the planet’s rhinos reside in South Africa and for all the great conservation successes, the country is still losing three a day to poachers.

Spending a day with conservationists provides an incredible perspective on the situation on the ground, including many moments with white rhinos. From aerial reconnaissance to rhino tracking and tagging, you also venture to areas where few visitors ever venture.
