White Rhino In The Pilanesberg

If you ever wanted a very good chance of seeing white rhino then the Pilanesberg is the place to be.

Nobody knows the actual amount of white rhino there is in this beautiful mountain terrain, but we know this amazing mammal does well and is well looked after.

The white rhino can weigh up to two tons making it the second biggest land mammal in the world, the horn of a rhino grows about 8 cm a year and contains mostly of a hair like fiber just like our own nails on a human body. The female rhino can live in crashes of about 6 to 14 at a time while your adult bulls are solitary.

The female rhino will reach sexual maturity when they are about 6 or 7 years old, a single calf is born and can weigh up to 40 to 65 kg. The mother rhino is very protective over her calf and will defend it no matter what
