Rwanda’s rhino population grows, tourists expected to increase

Rhino keepers, who successfully delivered five endangeredspent months hugging and coddling them inside their transport boxes to prepare them for the journey, a rhino handler told Reuters as the animals were freed on Monday.

“The preparation process took several months. It started in autumn last year when two animals were brought here from Denmark and England. They started to bond, which always takes weeks because black rhinos are very alert and nervous animals,” said rhino handler Jaromir Sejnoha from the Dvur Kralove Safari Park.

There are only about 1 000 black rhinos left in the wild, Jes Gruner, the Akagera National Park manager, told Reuters. The new arrivals mean Rwanda is home to 25 of them. “Every year, our tourism numbers are going up and bringing these rhinos I am sure will help,” Gruner said.In 2017 tourism earned Rwanda $437 million.
