How adorable is curator Anya’s hat!? 🦏🧡 One of our supporters and curio shop suppliers decided to crochet this cute rhino hat, which Anya thought was rather appropriate to wear when feeding Thaba. We couldn't agree more. #cute #rhino #hats #crochet #wildlife #curio

Look who we have here! We were thrilled to receive an update this morning showing a healthy Stompie and Balu enjoying their wild and carefree life. These two were both rehabilitated at our Centre and released together in October 2020. #rhinotales #rhino #rhinoconservation #royalrhinocreams #wildlife #wildandfree

Lula and Khulula put in a special close-up appearance on this occasion and seem to be sizing up the tour guests. We wonder what they are thinking … #rhinos #video #tourism #southafrica #wildlife #endangeredspecies #rhinoconservation #royalrhinocreams

Our guests were given a bit of a treat when Esmé, Thaba and Mielie decided to race after the truck back to their boma.

Our resident serval Savannah was enjoying a good scratch and didn’t seem to notice the camera until the end, when she nudged it and let off a purr. #serval #servalcat #cats #wildlife

Look what we found! While everyone was casually going about their business, this Puff Adder decided to show up. The Puff Adder is a dangerous snake and instead of moving away when hearing footsteps, it stays where it is and blows out air and warning hisses instead. Puff Adders are venomous snakes and will inflict a painful bite. #puffadder #snakes #venomous #venomoussnakes

On this World Giraffe Day, we remember our beautiful Shuri, who first arrived in August 2021 when she was only a few days old. Shuri crept into not only our hearts, but many of yours as well. Here ‘s a funny moment showing her getting the zoomies. We miss you sweet girl. #worldgiraffeday #giraffesofinstagram #shurithegiraffe #giraffe #zoomies

Seems we interrupted their nap … #naptime #wilddogs #africanwilddog #endangeredspecies #dogs #wildlife

The Monday morning milk feed … Watch how Thaba’s giant nostrils flare as he enthusiastically slurps his morning feed. Esmé and Mielie are calmy munching on their breakfast in the background. #monday #morning #rhino #wildlife #video #instagram #reels
