So far no detailed survey has been carried out to assess the total Black Rhino population in Botswana and its present distribution. Smithers (1971) gives a figure of approximately 20 animals, based on visual sightings and spoors. However, it seems quite probable that an intensive survey would reveal a higher number, especially in the Okavango Delta and northwestern Botswana - areas which are very thinly populated and remote from any permanent human habitation.
