In the Mkomazi National Park, the Black Rhino Sanctuary has been running for many years under the direction of the Englishman Tony Fitzjohn for the rearing and settlement of black rhinos. On July 7, 2021, the first black rhinos, funded by the George Adamson Memorial Fund, were released into the wild with a grand opening ceremony with a memorial stone and the Mkomazi Nationalpark was further developed for tourism. There is also a breeding station for African wild dogs that can be visited by guests.
