As is well known, numbers of white rhino wander from the Umfolozi Reserve and corridor at certain times, particularly when the grazing within the Reserve is not good. The Board considered it advisable to arrange for Game Guards to be specially employed in keeping a watch upon these animals when they wander outside the reserve.
White rhino - there are 18 adult with 3 calves in Hluhluwe Reserve, and a further 10 or 11 ccome and go from the corridor. In three days during February 1941, 75 white rhino were actually seen in the corridor by reliable game guards. In March only 37 were counted in the same area. This proves that these animals wander out of the Umfolozi Reserve and Corridor.
