In 1929, probably less than 100 white rhinoceroses survived in the Zululand reserves of the Umfolozi/Hluhluwe Complex. Those were all that remained of the once great numbers of rhino inhabiting the South African bushveld regions. Shot to the brink of extinction by hunters, traders and sportsmen, rhino nevertheless miraculously survived in this small pocket and once protection was in place, their numbers crept up to an estimated 437 by 1953.
