Khama Rhino Sanctuary Serowe |
The Khama Rhino Sanctuary Trust is a community based wildlife project near
Serowe, established in 1992 to assist in saving the vanishing rhino and to
restore an area formerly teeming with wildlife to its previous natural state.
Covering approximately 4,300 hectares of Kalahari sandveld, the Sanctuary is
centred around Serowe Pan - a large grass covered depression with several
natural water holes. Serowe Pan provides prime habitat for white rhinoceros and
other grazing animals, whilst the denser vegetation in the southern area of
the Sanctuary is favoured by browsing animals such as giraffe. To date, 14
white rhino have been translocated into the Sanctuary. The first four arrived
in February 1993, from northern Botswana.
All the rhino settled well and soon began breeding. With further
translocations, some sad deaths, and many happy births (the most recent
addition being born in April 2001) the total number of white rhino at the
Sanctuary is currently 18.
Guided game drives, rhino trails and nature walks can be booked. Both take
about two hours, during which time you will be guided around the Sanctuary by
the well trained and very knowledgeable
Rangers. The Sanctuary is home to other wildlife which have settled naturally
or been translocated in: Such as zebra, blue wildebeest, giraffe, eland,
springbok, impala, gemsbok, kudu, steenbok, leopard, African wild cat, black
backed jackal, brown hyena and many more. Over 230 bird species have also been
identified here including Abdim's stork and bearded woodpecker.
These take about 2 hours,
during which you will be guided around the Sanctuary by the well knowledgeable
Rangers. Morning drives start at 6am, afternoon drives at 4pm and night drives
at 7pm. The Sanctuary's road are well maintained and sign-posted making them
suitable for self-drive game viewing in 4x4-wheel drive or pickup.
The chalets all have toilets and showers en-suite with hot and cold water,
bedding and towels are provided. They also have braai facilities, a fireplace.
Each chalet has a paraffin lamp and strip lights are solar powered. There is
no power in chalets A, B, C, D, E and A-frame and campsites.
The campsites have a braai stand with grill, and a tap with birdbath and are
served by two communal ablution blocks each with male and female showers with
hot and cold water.
