First, the rhino which are in South-Africa have to be captured with the help of a helicopter. The rhino need to be held there in bomas for a period of about 5-6 weeks to settle down and to become accustomed to the crates in which they will be transported to Malawi.

African Parks also have to capture the two bulls in Majete and put them in bomas to break with their territories before the new rhinos arrive.

The rhino from South-Africa wil be flown to Malawi and arrive at Chileka airport around the beginning of November 2007.

From there they will be transported down the escarpment to Majete in trucks. In Majete the will be kept in bomas for about four weeks, depending on the weather. After the first rains, in november or december, the animals will be released.

Each rhino will have a radio transmitter implanted into its anterior horn prior to release. The radio signals can be followed by scouts who will then be able to monitor the movements of the animals.

During their this whole procedure the rhino will be taken care of by a well-trained team of veterinarians.
