During 1975 and 1976, 15 white rhinos were moved in from Umfolozi in Natal and in 1990, six more came from Kruger. Although, so far none of these has been poached, some died after translocation. The Kruger rhinos were not put into bomas after being caught, but were sent directly on a 37-hour journey to Waterberg. Four died soon afterwards, probably from stress (P. Erb, pers. comm.). The initial animals from Natal have done well. By July 1991, there were 40 in total.
