Mukinya ( 1973) records that the total area of the Reserve occupied by rhinos in 1972 was 749 km?, thereby giving a density of 0.14 rhino per km?. At present the total area occupied by rhinos is only 399 km?, with a density of 0.10 rhino per km? However, taking into account the 60 km? overlap of distribution (figure 2B), the total area occupied by rhinos is 459 km? with a corresponding density of 0.09 rhino per km?.
