It’s time to take real action. It’s a widely known fact that rhinos are on the brink of extinction – but not if we have anything to say about it. The Rhino Momma Project is a non-profit organisation that’s made a significant impact in not only protecting our rhinos, but also growing the rhino population. Since purchasing our first rhino in September 2011, we’ve made it our mission to help save this magnificent species from extinction by breeding as many rhinos as possible, all in an effort to repopulate Namibia and Africa with rhinos. This is no small task, but with your help and support we can turn back the clock and protect one of our continent’s most precious wildlife species.
Our Rhinos
Thinus aka Boet
DOB: 1 January 2018
Boet was about 2 months old when his mom, Doampie died of unknown natural causes. We had to quickly intervene and take Boet under our wing. Baby rhino’s suckle up to about 18 months of age, so Boet still had a lot of milk to drink! Our resident angel, Rhino Momma Juliette, took him in…
Orpah
DOB: 28 February 2018
Orpah is still a baby rhino, but despite her size, she is full of energy. You can see her running everywhere, looking for new things to discover. Because when you are a baby or a child, everything new is exciting! Adult rhinos usually have poor eyesight while young rhinos have quite sharp eyesight and can…
Mariska
DOB: 8 January 2018
Mariska is a shy rhino who likes hiding behind a tree when a situation is stressful, but behind her shyness, is a very bold young calf, with a heart of gold. She is so passionate in everything she does and when she looks at you with those big brown eyes, you can see the warmth…
Wrinkles
DOB: 25 December 2017
Say Hello to the most wrinkled calf ever! She was our little Christmas present, as she was born on the first day of Christmas in 2017, and was walking within an hour of her birth This little girl has so many characterising wrinkles on her side, that we renamed her after her appearance. Originally she…
Vicky
DOB: 05 May 2017
Vicky is the type of rhino who likes sleeping and eating. If she can have her meal lying down she will be happy. You can understand, the grass in the bush is so comfortable to want to spend time on it. When you see Vicky it almost looks like she has a smile and she…
Samuel
DOB: 19 May 2017
Despite being 1 years old, Samuel is a determined calf like his mother. If you can see him, you can be sure it’s to pursue the idea which is in his mind, like the other day, Samuel was walking alongside the road and I was curious about knowing his goal. I followed him in the…
Nate
DOB: 26 July 2017
Nate’s growing a lot lately and became already a handsome little boy, who loves to run and play around. It seems like he’s almost too active and bouncy since he and his mother, Red Rock, are always running a little late for breakfast feeding. They probably need to sleep late after days filled with exploring…
Job
DOB: 29 July 2017
It was the time of morning in Namibian midwinter when it switches from cold to hot; I removed my jacket and went from dreading washing out the feeding bowls with cold water to savouring the feeling of the water on my hands. Finishing the last bowl, I bent and hoisted it over my head to…
Bethany
DOB: 20th March 2018
Bethany is a very cute little rhino and is only 9 months old. She just loves her mom’s milk and for such a small girl she really drinks a lot of it. She needs approximately 12 litres a day to grow up to be a big and strong rhino. She also loves the treats we...
Anja
DOB: 13 April 2017
To appreciate Anja, you must observe her. This little rhino is shy, but calm, she loves walking alongside her mom and observing her surroundings, however when it comes to feeding time she puts away her shy personality and is not afraid to fight for her food.
Gerhard
DOB: 11 April 2017
Gerhard is an adventurer, he loves running around and exploring. He is a happy boy and full of energy all the time.
How you can help
Adopt a rhino through the Rhino Momma Project. Name your rhino and get quarterly updates and photos of how your rhino is doing.
One of our biggest expenses for this project are the salaries for the people who are crucial for this project. Adopt an Anti-Poaching Ranger now.
To secure our huge reserve, it is crucial for us to have as many "eyes" on the ground as possible. Help fund additional camera traps positioned on secret, strategic locations all over the reserve.
Help us buy the materials we need to conserve and breed these magnificent creatures back from extinction.
To enable the APU to thoroughly patrol an area of 32500 acres, they cover a lot of km's by vehicle.
Make a monthly or once-off donation to the Rhino momma Project - every bit helps!
