I assume and wonder if, this ties in with the Conservation Station reductions? Close free stuff and add pay stuff in same area.

Looks like check in is at 10:45 and the tour begins at 11AM.

I wonder why it's just to see rhinos for an hour? No other creatures back there? I'm also halfway surprised no desserts, but that would be the $100 version lol!

They have a tour called Caring for Giants which is for elephants. These tours give guests more in depth looks at these magnificent creatures.

They'll offer desserts all right. Watch a Rhino eat, followed by warm fresh desserts. Grab a shovel and dig in. Or wait... Did they pull those off the menu. LOL

Love it! Elephant tour looked nice but I love me some Rhino's!!

Will they be keeping the rhinos off the safari when they would ordinarily be around the safari?

This sounds interesting had one of these rhinos on the safari tour rolling in front of the bus in a mud puddle to get coded with mud like a little, puppy,

Sounds good.

We really enjoyed Caring for Giants a few months ago, and felt it was very well done. And, secretly left hoping they might offer something like this in the future for the rhinos. Wish it started sooner, since we'll be there in the not-too-distant-future, but back home before it's slated to begin. Since it's a paid experience, though, I suspect it will persist for a while

There is typically always rhinos backstage - you can see them on the train to Rafikis Planet Watch.

Eh.

Yes that’s true, unless said Planet Watch is closed to guests. Then enter pay to see same rhinos. LOL NOT LOL

Tried to book this the first day it was available. Sadly, my vacation ends on Nov 2, so both days were full. Of course, there is only one tour per day - at 11:00 a.m. Caring for Giants had several times each day, so hopefully they'll expand Up Close with Rhinos. Soon.

I wanted the 2nd but couldn't get it so I had to go with Nov. 5th.

We did a tour about ten years ago that had a visit to the elephant paddock (one was close to delivering...which involved her pacing furiously...so we had to keep more distance) and the rhino (she lifted her leg on demand and we got to touch her)...

This tour kinda sounds like half that

There is typically always rhinos backstage - you can used to be able to see them on the train to Rafikis Planet Watch.

FTFY

If you wanted to fix it, you’d say ‘you still can for a limited time’ but hey, you tried.
