Rhino Poachers in the Kruger Park

It has been a very busy weekend, the incursions continue relentlessly and our Rangers have had 4 seperate contacts with armed groups in 4 different sections of the park, all in a 36 hour period. In 3 incidents the poachers managed to evade arrest by being close to the boundary and making use of the darkness to make good on their escape. A final contact late yesterday afternoon resulted in 2 poachers being fatally wounded. A rifle, silencer & ammunition were recovered. No rhino were found dead during the incidents.
