Nights on the projects are often spent watching beautiful sunsets. At around 20 meters tall, the Baobab tree (Adansonia digitata) towers majestically over its neighbours on the African savannas
Black rhino
Black rhino
The rhino is prized for its horn. Not a true horn, it is made of thickly matted hair that grows from the skull without skeletal support. The major demand for horn is in Asia, where it is used in traditional medicine and ornamental carvings. On Phinda Wildlife Research Project you can help monitor these magnificent creatures.
