Rehabilitation & Rewilding of Rhino Orphans
The Greater Kruger landscape remains one of the most important strongholds for rhino conservation, yet poaching continues to threaten the future of the species. Through the Singita Lowveld Trust's long-standing commitment to rhino conservation, we work alongside conservation partners to help safeguard rhino populations across the region.
Through our partnership with Care for Wild, the world's largest rhino orphan sanctuary, the Singita Lowveld Trust supports the rehabilitation and rewilding of rhino orphans. Annual sponsorship contributes towards veterinary care, nutrition, security, monitoring, habitat management, and long-term rehabilitation requirements.
The goal is to return rehabilitated rhinos to the wild, where they can once again contribute to healthy, resilient populations across the Greater Kruger landscape.
Singita guests also have the opportunity to visit Care for Wild through dedicated conservation experiences, offering a deeper understanding of rhino conservation and the commitment required to secure a future for one of Africa's most iconic species.
