The Rex the Rhino Conservation Fund was officially established in January 2014 to provide much needed logistics support for the iMfolozi-Hluhluwe rhino Anit-Poaching and Game Capture units and the field rangers who risk their lives every day in the line of duty. These are the true guardians of the reserve – the men responsible for the safekeeping of South African rhino’s and the rehabilitation of orphaned and injured rhino’s.

Having worked in the Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Game Reserve for over ten years first as a Wilderness Guide and later as Conservation Manager, Frank Carlisle made the decision to give back to the individuals who make up the anti poaching units, the veterinary teams and the field rangers because these are the true Guardians of the Reserve, the unsung heroes of conservation and deserving recipients of the needs identified and required to minimize their risk in the line of duty, and maximise the care and conservation of the black and white rhino populations of the oldest game reserve in Africa.
Cool adventures to add to your holiday checklist. What makes these extraordinary – all proceeds will be donated to the Rex the Rhino Conservation Fund. Check it out…

These men and women patrol the park’s fence lines working in challenging conditions, often at night, as the first line of defence against poaching and illegal activities.

Franks experience goes back to being a Wilderness Trail Guide and later a Conservation Manager in iMfolozi. After ten years in the field, he left the rolling hills of Hluhluwe-iMfolozi for the 4×4 self drive industry.
Paul and Frank met during their guiding days at iMfolozi. Paul’s experience lies in the Wilderness Foundation, SANParks and the Wilderness Leadership School where he is a Trustee. He also chairs the iMfolozi Wilderness Area Steering Committee on behalf of Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife and is a member of the KZN Wild Dog Advisory Group.
Paul’s personal career interest lies in the expansion of conservation areas for priority species and has included work with local South African communities to co-create innovative solutions for the socio-economic and environmental issues facing people and the environment.
Much like Frank and Paul, Malcolm began his conservation career while guiding wilderness walking trails in Hluhluwe i-Mfolozi Game Reserve in the 1990’s. After spending many years in Rhino Conversation Management he left the KZN based organization and moved into commercial tourism conservation where he started On Safari Africa.
Keen to stay involved with iMfolozi the people so closely involved in rhino conservation in this area, Frank, Paul & Malcolm established Rex the Rhino Conservation Fund in order to give back to conservation and the heroes on the ground.
