Dotty Rhino is a project within The George Adamson Wildlife Preservation Trust that has been created specifically for children. It was voted the BEST AFRICAN WEBLOG at the 2008 Bloggies! The Dotty Rhino animated website has been created for an imaginative and considerate audience and aims to be both educational and fun. The entire site is a guaranteed safe place for kids (and parents!)

Every week in the blog you can read about the Mkomazi residents as they go about their daily lives. Young visitors can also play the online game, download dotty artwork whilst parents can visit the online Dotty store. Proceeds from T Shirt sales go directly to the day-to-day running of Mkomazi.
