The Raising Rhinos Experience is one that you may never forget.
Guests will be taken on a 60-minute adventure across the Werribee Open Range Zoo’s savannah and see the crash in action.
Zookeepers will explain what daily life looks like for a southern white rhino and the extinction plight the species faces in Africa.
One of the highlights of the experience is that it is done on ‘rhino time,’ which basically means the rhinos pick and choose when they appear – just like they would in their native habitat.
This allows the tour to operate in a way which does not disturb the natural behaviour of the crash.
Some rhinos at the zoo have reputations more like rock stars, none more than Jabuani whose birth in August made headlines.
You will also hear the thrilling stories of how the zoo prepared for his birth and the moment the youngster finally met his family for the first time.
You and your family will be able to start the week in style or end it with a bang, because the program runs at 1.10pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Wheelchair access can be accommodated so everyone can get out on the savannah and guests are urged to look at the rules about adult to children ratio on the zoo’s website.
As zoo entry is not included in the ticket price, make sure to book your rhino experience and general entry ticket for the same day
