In 1965 there were fewer than 100 black rhinos in the whole of the country, and less than 30 in Etosha. Fifty animals were then translocated to Etosha from private farms along the Ugab River (now Damaraland) and private farms south of Etosha. At end-1983, there were a known 302 and an estimated 350 rhinos in Etosha, a safe environment. This population is expanding, and animals could be removed to the existing Mahango and Khaudum Game Reserves in North-east SWA and to the proposed Bushmanland Game Reserve.
