The Rhino Africa Safaris Year in Review

By Craig Harding on November 30, 2010

A Year in Review

Compliments of the season to you all! And what a year it’s been at Rhino Africa. None of this would have been possible without your amazing support, friendship and patronage and we’d like to pass on our sincere thanks to each of you.

We turned six and David Ryan, our intrepid leader, turned forty. He also underwent pioneering stem cell treatment in Germany. We celebrated in style at the red carpet of event of the year at the Mount Nelson hotel in Cape Town. We cycled 330kms across the Damaraland Desert in Nambia as part of Challenge4aCause and we raised around R800,000 for the Save the Rhino Trust and other charities!

We blew our Vuvuzelas and celebrated a successful FIFA World Cup. We marched in front of Parliament on Rhino Day to raise awareness of rhino poaching, we made the prime time evening news and we launched the first phases of our new Rhino Africa website as well as the Horny Grazer restaurant reviews.

We opened MannaBay at the foot of Table Mountain which has already become a roaring triumph with guests. We welcomed a whole team at MannaBay as well as Ross, Silke, Cathrine and Wanita at Rhino Africa.

We spoke at Indaba, the Truth Debate and the World Travel Market about the importance of sustainable tourism and of supporting local communities. We launched our own Going Green Initiative with Heritage/Green Line and we worked with Cape Town Tourism to welcome the IGLTA to South Africa. We bought a piece of land in Khayelitsha to build two new classrooms for the Khumbulani Day Care Centre and we brought over 15,000 visitors to Africa!

Certainly a year to remember, and we’re looking forward to an even busier 2011!

To thank you all for your fantastic support this year we’re offering you something special this December.

If you complete your booking with Rhino Africa in December 2010, we will give you a $250 discount which you can put towards the cost of your international air fare!*

Craig Harding is the general go-to guy at Rhino Africa. He's pretty chilled out so he's the right guy to have by your side on an intrepid adventure. He says 'the journey is the destination' so we just all nod and agree - it's better that way...

  • Well done Rhinos !

    Awesome Christmas special, congrats on 2010 and all the best for 2011 ! It will be hard to top all this but I’m sure you’ll manage 😉
