Last year the International Rhino Foundation's (IRF) made the news with a kooky rhino poop auction. Yes, they sold rhino droppings. On eBay.This year they're going a little more conventional, but auctioning off something much bigger: an amazing four-day safari that would be the perfect gift for the conservationist or animal lover who really has everything.
They're calling it the "Rhino Rendezvous" - a trip for six to spend four days at the IRF headquarters at White Oak Conservation Center, just north of Jacksonville, Florida. The winner will receive ground transportation (i.e. not airfare), meals, accommodations, and a chance to go behind the scenes at the world class White Oak Conservation Center.
Some of the endangered species you'll get to see at the center include rhinos (of course), tigers, zebras and Komodo monitors. You'll get to take pictures, see feeding sessions and make some priceless memories.
The auction started on November 15th, and goes through December 15th. To give you an idea of what a great opportunity this is, the whole thing is valued at $25,000, but at the time of this post, bidding has only reached $3,100! That's what I call a bargain!
It's also a great cause. If you are thinking of taking a big family trip, and want to do something really unique that will help the conservation efforts of IRF, go place your bid. Some lucky winner is going to have an amazing story to tell.
