The Care for Wild Rhino Sanctuary’s darling rhino, Daisy, recently received a special visit from none other than Siya Kolisi and Kwagga Smith! As it turns out, the Boks back the rhinos as much as South Africa backs the Boks:
South Africa (02 October 2024) — From larger-than-life rugby fans who will move heaven and earth to watch a game live to little ones who couldn’t imagine anything more special than meeting the Boks in person, the Springboks are at the top of the list when it comes to matters that hold a space in South African hearts. But, when it comes to who holds a special place in the Boks’ hearts, South Africans compete with an extra special group—the rhinos part of Care for Wild Rhino Sanctuary!
You might know Care for Wild for many incredible rhino-led feel-good stories in conservation. Well, so do the Springboks.
In a special shoutout to the Boks ahead of their victory game against Argentina last weekend, Care for Wild told their audience something special.
“Whenever they’re in the area, the Springboks always make time to check in on our rhino orphans, showing a deep understanding of the power of raising global awareness for conservation,” shared the Sanctuary.
“Like us, they are fiercely passionate about the fight to save rhinos from extinction,” they added.
After the Boks’ triumph, one of their first stops was to none other than Care for Wild, where Siya Kolisi and Kwagga Smith made an early morning pitstop just to visit darling rhino, Daisy!
For Siya and Daisy, it was nothing short of a heartwarming reunion.
