Kenya Is One Of The Best Places To See The Rhino
The rhino or rhinoceros is one of the popular Kenya animals that also include the African lion, African elephant, leopard and buffalo. These 5 animal species are generally called the ” Big 5 ” because they are the most sought-after wildlife by travellers.
Kenya is home to both the black and white rhino even though only the black rhino is original to the country. On the face of it, rhinos look invulnerable – they’re some of the largest and savage animals with thick skins and horns that can rip pretty much anything in their trail.
These horns though are the rhinos’ Achilles’ heel. Between the 1970s and the 1990s, rhinos were poached to near extinction in the country. This was in order to feed a flourishing illegal market in the rhino horn in Yemen where it is used as a sword scabbard and in China where it is incorrectly said to be an aphrodisiac and is utilized as an ingredient in herbal medicines.
In the aftermath of the plunging rhino numbers, frantic efforts were put in place to save the rhino from extinction. These efforts are now beginning to bear fruit and their population is steadily rising.
The best spots to see rhinos in Kenya are:
- Lake Nakuru National Park. Although this is fairly tiny Kenya national park, it hosts a total of 100 black and white rhinos which is arguably the biggest public rhino population in the country.
- Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary. This is found in the eastern part of the vast Tsavo National Park and is home to several black rhinos. These rhinos’ ears are tagged with electronic devices and kept under close observation 24/7.
- Aberdare National Park also hosts one or two dozen black rhinos.
- Masai Mara National Reserve is a habitat to quite a few rhinos even though it more famed for its “Big Cats” and the spectacular annual wildebeest migration across the Mara River.
- Nairobi National Park is situated close to the heart of the capital city of Kenya and is home to one or two dozen black rhinos.
Imani Kimatt is excited about Kenya and enjoys writing about the entrancing Kenya animals e.g. the white rhinoceros.
