Crystal Cruisers meet the black rhino
Crystal Cruises is rolling out a new excursion that takes travelers up close and personal with the "critically endangered" black rhino.
Flying in a helicopter high above South Africa’s lush Maputaland, participants will accompany the expert anti-poaching team and assist in locating the rhinos for conservation researchers.
On the ground, they will get to stand within touching distance of a one-ton+ anesthetized rhino while its ears are notched to enable tracking and aid in the repopulation process.
Participation in the "Rhino Conservation Experience" is extremely limited.
It is available only to guests participating in Crystal’s mid-cruise, off-ship Overland Adventure to the Phinda Private Game Reserve as part of Crystal Serenity’s March 10 voyage from Singapore to Cape Town.
