Why I Believe Rhino Horn Should Be Legalised to Help Save Rhinos

Could a carefully controlled legal rhino horn trade help save the very animals it comes from? Craig Mitchell explores the controversial idea and asks whether we should be prepared to use every possible conservation tool to make rhinos more valuable alive than dead.

Tourism’s Carbon Story Is Bigger Than Its Footprint

Tourism inevitably creates a carbon footprint, but its story doesn't end there. Across Africa, tourism can also provide the economic reason for wild landscapes to remain intact. New carbon benchmarking is helping the industry understand both sides of that story.

...🦁 BREAKING NEWS! 🚨

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that Kingsley Holgate has joined the KhakiBush Magazine & Blog team as our NEWEST writer, storyteller and general African adventure legend! 🌍🔥

Kingsley brings decades of exploring Africa, epic expeditions, wild stories and more kilometres on African tracks than most of us have driven in our entire lives.

So naturally… we thought we’d better check his credentials. 😂

📄 We’re still waiting for his CV.

Apparently, it’s somewhere between Cape Town, Bujumbura Ouagadougou and Cairo, definitely in a Land Rover, and may have been delayed by a few elephants or geopolitical glitches.

Until the CV arrives, we’re prepared to take his word for it. 😉

Welcome to the KhakiBush family, Kingsley! We can’t wait to share your stories, adventures and uniquely African perspective with our readers.

If the CV checks out, of course… 😂

....🦏 WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU’RE TAKING PHOTOS OF A BLACK RHINO DRINKING…

📱 Your phone rings.

👀 The rhino looks up.

😡 The rhino decides it doesn’t appreciate the interruption.

🏃‍♂️ And suddenly… YOU’RE THE ONE BEING PHOTOGRAPHED!

😂

Tech in the bush ain’t always a good thing!

Lesson learned: put your phone on silent. Your life might depend on it. 🦏💨

🚙 THE RIVER CROSSING VIDEO

A safari vehicle apparently lost its brakes during a river crossing. Thankfully, nobody was hurt.

But before we judge from a 45-second video, let’s ask the bigger question:

Are safari vehicles being properly maintained, and are guides prepared for mechanical failures?

One video. Thousands of opinions.

What do you think? 👇

...🐆 ALWAYS LOOK LEFT. AND RIGHT. AND BEHIND YOU.

A few friends and I were out in iMfolozi when we came across rhinos and other game scattered across the bushveld in front of us.

We were watching the scene when, almost by chance, I glanced to the left…

And there it was. 🐆

A leopard, quietly watching from the bush.

I only managed to get one shot before the moment was gone.

It’s a good reminder that when you’re out in the African bush, don’t just look at what’s in front of you.

Always look left. Always look right. And always look behind you.

You never know who’s watching. 👀
