Thirty risked white rhinos have arrived in Rwanda after a long trip from South Africa in a Boeing 747 with conservationists hailing it as the largest single transfer of the species ever accepted.
The majestic creatures, which can weigh up to two tonnes, travelled some km ( country miles) from South Africa’s Phinda Private Game Reserve as part of a programme to replenish the species’population, devastated by coddling since the 1970s.
