Our Projects

Rhino Conservation Project

Our rhinos are protected by a team of motivated and dedicated Rhino Monitors under the supervision of the Conservator. MBRC is destined to be the next White Rhino Sanctuary.

Leopard Research

We use a citizen science approach in collaboration with keen youth from the community, where data is collected by means of camera traps and scat collection.

Vegetation Rehabilitation Program

This project seeks to re-vegetate the mined areas with native vegetation in order to maintain the integrity of the Rhino, Sable and Cheetah prime habitats.

Sable Project

We have an ongoing Sable habitat suitability mapping project. Please contact us for more information.

Activities

We offer game drives in th conservancy giving you an opportunity to see large herds of sable, kudu, buffalo and other animals.

The tournament is an annual MBRC sponsored soccer extravaganza. This year it is co-sponsored by ACF Mine.

This year, the first round of the tournament is being defended by the Black Rhinos Soccer Club, has attracted ten teams from all communities surrounding the conservancy. The teams qualified by playing knock-out rounds in their respective communities. This year the finals will be sometime in November 2017 at Bob Swift Community Ground.
