DHL deliver black rhino to Tanzania

The rhino, named Eliska, was born at ZOO Dvur Kralove, Czech Republic, and was moved by an international DHL team of 40 specialists on board a Boeing 757-200 freighter.

 

“We were very excited to have the opportunity to transport this beautiful animal home to Africa and to play our part in these critical efforts to help revive endangered Eastern black rhino populations. Complex projects like this, where failure is simply not an option, also allow us to showcase the power of the DHL global network and the expertise of our certified international specialists,” said Ken Allen, CEO, DHL Express.

 

DHL has supported multiple conservation projects in the past, including the delivery of three black rhinos from the United Kingdom to Tanzania.

 

“We were delighted that DHL was able to support us with this project, as we were only prepared to entrust Eliska to partners who could absolutely guarantee a safe and seamless move,” said Tony Fitzjohn OBE, field director, The George Adamson Wildlife Preservation Trust.
