The first five of a planned thirty-two Eastern black rhinoceros were released into the Singita Grumeti Reserve on May 21st. The Singita Grumeti Reserve is a 340,000 acre private reserve that borders the Serengeti National park. This area is a huge conservation success story as it is a vital piece of land outside the park that large numbers of the great migration pass through and it was an area that suffered from rampant poaching. The establishment of successful tourism with Sasakwa Lodge, Sabora Tented Camp, and Faru Faru Lodge has brought significant protection to the area and adding rhino will be a significant action to this success.
