A Very Special Clearance at Immingham Port
We were honoured to support the recent relocation of Mlimba, a 1,250kg Eastern Black Rhino, from the UK to her new home at Ree Park Safari, Denmark. As part of the EAZA Ex-situ Programme, this move is a vital step in the conservation of one of the world’s most critically endangered species.
Born at Port Lympne Hotel & Reserve in 2018, Mlimba has been a shining ambassador for her species. Now, under expert recommendation, she joins a new group to support breeding efforts, with hopes she’ll one day have calves of her own.
Our team travelled from Heathrow to Immingham to personally oversee and attend the customs clearance process, ensuring full compliance, care, and coordination every step of the way. This operation marks the first black rhino export to mainland Europe since Brexit, and we’re incredibly proud to have played our part.
This wasn’t just a shipment, it was a statement of what logistics can do when purpose meets precision.
Huge thanks to all involved in making this move a success!
