It was also the site of the so called "Rhino War" from 1988-1992. Poachers were killing an average of 1 rhino a week during this period, and that number grew to 3 a day near the end. The proprietor of the reserve petitioned the King to allow his rangers to carry the same automatic weapons that the poachers had, and after a few bloody shootouts the war was over. All that remain of it are these Rhino skulls.
