The murders of a ranger and a rare black rhino in the idyllic Shangari Safari Park rattle the local community of Rutgersdrift.
Sofia Helenius from Finland lives at the lodge with her boyfriend Tom Rutgers, the owner of Shangari.
Sofia is tormented by a secret she yearns to share with Tom, but the cruel events grab the limelight and put everything else in the shade. One of the native Khoi-San families is known to communicate with wild animals, but what if the criminals get wind of this gift?
When another murder happens in the city of Johannesburg, smouldering secrets begin to unravel. How are the murders connected and will it be possible to halt a relentless crime-syndicate in order to save an African paradise?
The Rhino Whisperer captures the spirit of Africa and shows how crime and corruption are linked to rhino poaching.
