African Conservation Experience - Hanchi Conservation Project - Conservation on Horseback

Set in a private game reserve not far from Kruger National Park, Hanchi gives students the opportunity to experience the beautiful African bushveld from the unique viewpoint of being on the back of a horse.

Are you in?

Most animals are free to socialise with the workers and volunteers at Moholoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre

Buffalo Capture

When animals need to be relocated, a specialised capture team comes into to do the job. This is hands-on and adrenaline fuelled work!

The African Buffalo

The African buffalo is a very robust species. It is up to 1.7 metres high, 3.4 meters long. While not particularly demanding with regard to habitat, they require water daily and therefore depend on perennial sources of water.

Roan antelope

Between 1986 and 1993, the roan antelope population in the Kruger National Park, South Africa, declined from about 450 to 45 animals. At Hanchi and Zingela these animals are being bred. Volunteers monitor their densities, age and condition on horseback.

Feeding time

A good hand-rearer should be prepared to invest a lot of effort with the reward being the release of a successfully rehabilitated animal.

Traversing the bush on horseback

Volunteers at Hanchi manage endangered roan and sable antelope breeding herds from horseback and study some of Africa's most elusive and persecuted predators

Africa's Roan Antelope

One of the largest African antelopes, the roan antelope has a gray coat with black and white facial markings, very long, pointed ears that are tufted at tip, and long horns that are strongly curved backwards.

Bush Baby

Volunteers often look after bush babies while at Khulula Wild Care. A nocturnal animal, as many as twenty may crowd together to sleep in an enclosed space like a hollow tree trunk. At dusk they wake & split into family groups & go searching for food.
