The first white rhinos were reintroduced from Zululand in 1972, onto a private game ranch. Subsequently the Department of Agriculture and Nature Conservation introduced rhinos into the Waterberg Plateau Park. Today, there are four populations on private land numbering 51 animals, and 18 in the Waterberg. There are plans to translocate animals to the northeast reserves. Some rhinos are brought to South West Africa simply to be shot as soon as possible, but these are on private safari ranches and not in game reserves.
