Thanks to Leitah Mkhabela and her all-female gamekeeper crew, the Black Mambas, the number of poached rhinoceroses in South Africa’s Balule Reserve has been steadily decreasing.

Every year, hundreds of rhinoceroses are killed by poachers in South Africa’s National Parks. Many gamekeepers sell their knowledge on where to find the animals…

  1. Thank you for the insightful video. I am glad that these women are standing up for these animals, it's very heart warming yet sad because of how many people are targeting these vulnerable creatures. hope the best for the animals and the rangers as well

  2. I found the clean uniforms, makeup, fashionable high maintainence hairstyles and lack of weapons and fitness amusing. These individuals are simply window dressing…the product of trying to put a pretty face on a dirty job, while those who are capable do all of the real work behind the scenes.

  3. 1st of all those are hyena tracks not lion 2de of all they say they don't share information but in the same video they say there are 80 rhinos on the balule?? 3rd of all these women have been kicked off most of the reserves they have been involved in because all they do Is talk and no show for funds 4th their are people that work in the balule that are actual rangers and follow up on tracks and when they see poachers don't run away from them but really do put their lives on the line and run towards them and have far more success than the black mambas which to date have not yet had an arrest. I think it's strange and funny that they have been there for 6 years and have not made one arrest but other anti poaching units that work on balule have lost count on how many arrests they have made.
