This Youth Day, we're celebrating new beginnings.

Meet Sunday, our beautiful white rhino calf and the newest addition to the Tala family. 🦏

Strong, curious, and already capturing hearts, Sunday is a symbol of hope for the future of wildlife conservation. Every rhino calf born is a reminder that with protection, dedication, and care, our natural heritage can continue to thrive for generations to come.

We are honoured to be part of her journey and cannot wait to watch her grow up in the wild beauty of Tala.

Welcome to the family, Sunday. ❤️

🌳 Did You Know?

Some of the most remarkable residents at Tala aren't the wildlife – they're the ancient Leadwood trees that have stood watch over the reserve for centuries.

Known for their incredible strength and resilience, these iconic trees provide shelter for countless species and are a vital part of Tala's natural heritage.

The next time you visit, take a moment to appreciate these silent guardians of the African bush.
