In the late 1960s it was estimated that there were between 50 and 60 Black Rhino in the Mara Triangle - eight were once seen on a single walk by one of us (KN) - but severe poaching took place in the early 1970s when large numbers were shot by poachers. Poaching was eventually brought under control but the number of rhino had been greatly depleted and just a handful survived in the Ngama Hills. A single female Black Rhino returned to the Mara Triangle in September 1997 and has been seen regularly ever since.
