White Rhino Encounter
An amazing opportunity to give an endangered two-ton rhino a pat and make his day with a mix of attention and his favourite food. Accompanied by two of our keepers who will ensure your safety while you meet this gentle giant, feel his lips as he gently takes hay from your hand and his thick hide as he slowly leans towards you to get the maximum benefit of your attention. While one keeper looks after you and the interaction with the rhino, another will be taking photos and providing you with information on this endangered species while also answering your questions.
