J&B Rare Scotch Whisky's International care for the rare programme has sponsored the release of two young black rhino into a sanctuary in the Liwonde NP. The two rhino named Justerini (the female) and Brooks were captured on 5 Oct 1993 in the Kruger NP and released in Liwonde on 28 Oct 1993 after being airlifted out of Skukuza by Defence force hercules to Zomba Airforce Base in Malawi, and completing the journey by truck. The J&B rhinos were purchased from the Kruger NP at a reduced price. The rhino were released into a 10 kmy camp with electrified fencing on the Ntangai River near Mvuu Camp. A team of seven special wardens, trained in South Africa and armed with automatic weapons, will guard the rhino 24 hours a day. The rhino will have microchip transmitters inserted into their horns.
