Rhino Plush






It’s that special time of the year when we get to spoil the ones we love. This year, we are offering you the opportunity to buy a gift that gives back. Our fluffy plush Rhino! Together we can work towards a secure future for the animals in South Africa because what sort of a future will it be without them?! 

While you may look at the following numbers and see that South Africa has the highest number of Rhino, you should take into consideration that statistics show that the death rate will overshadow the birth rate between 2016-2018 due to poaching. We can use that as an indicator due to the fact that over a 1000 Rhino have been killed this year alone.


The profits raised by the sales of our plush will go to the Wilderness Foundation (www.wildernessfoundation.org), where they will purchase a batwing aircraft that will be used in their anti-poaching mission. For every 5000 sold, an aircraft can be bought. 

The plush is being sold for R180 at reception. Contact us if you don’t live in the area but would like to help…  ask@mypondhotel.com
