plans for translocation in 1928. A former Warden of the Kruger NP, Mr Louis Steyn, drew up a plan for the contemplated move. He suggested the animals be driven on foot into a small enclosure where they could be drugged. From there the animals could be transported by lory to the park. He estimated that the whole operation would last more or less 42 hours. The lorries then would have to maintain their maximum speed of 10 mph (16 kph).
