The Black Rhino and the Rhino Lady of Limpopo Province
By CLAUDIA FLISI
Anna Merz, the Rhino Lady, doesn’t live on
a 61,000 acre rhinoceros sanctuary in Kenya
anymore. Her home today adjoins an 88,000
acre game reserve in South Africa, which has
its own resident rhinos. After all, the woman
who devoted much of her life to Africa’s
threatened rhino population shouldn’t be
far from the creatures she literally saved
from extinction.

The Land Rover has driven off without you, or you have become separated from the rest
of your walking safari, or you just fell off your horse in the African bush. All of a sudden
you are alone, unarmed, and facing a snarling lion, trumpeting elephant, or snorting
rhinoceros. What you do next will determine your chances of survival, it’s that simple.
Of course, the likelihood of your facing one of the Big Five — lion, leopard, elephant,
rhinoceros, or buffalo — is nil unless you happen to be on safari in Africa or in an
extremely well-populated but poorly-guarded zoo. But if a trip to Africa is looming on your
horizon, you might want to heed the advice I gleaned while on horse safari in Botswana a
few months ago.
