The amazing story of Anna Merz, who helped save black rhinoceroses from extinction.


After growing up in stodgy, post-WWII London, Anna Merz is determined to live a life of grand adventure. She spends much of her life in Ghana, racing horses, exploring the Sahara, and rescuing orphaned wild animals that are dropped at her door.


Anna retires to Kenya in anticipation of rest and relaxation. Instead, she finds her true calling: that of Kifaru Mama-Rhino Mama. After witnessing the slaughter of wild animals sold for their parts, Anna is determined to rescue the highly endangered black rhino, the dodo of the modern world-ungainly creatures destined for extinction. From building eight-foot-tall fences around five thousand acres of land, to darting rhinos from helicopters and trucking them to safety, Anna works to save one black rhino at a time.


When faced with having to raise a newborn rhino abandoned by her mother or let it die, Anna learns by trial and error to not only keep baby Samia alive but to raise her so she'll be able to live on her own.


How to Raise a Rhino is the true story of Anna Merz who helped establish the Ngare Sergoi Rhino Sanctuary, which became the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in Kenya. Readers of all ages will cheer Anna on as she faces and defeats every obstacle with unwavering perseverance to save the black rhino from being poached to extinction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thoroughly engaging if you are a lover of nature!

I packed this book as I traveled to Chicago this week to read on the plane. I had enough time traveling to completely read this book. I usually sleep on the plane, but I was so engaged, I finished the book in transit. Now that I’ve read it without interruption, I wish I had made time a long time ago to do so. I’m going to buy one for my god daughter who is married to a Ghanian and who lived in Ghana for several years. Perhaps she will use it with her Beloved Episcopal youth group and/or during her DEI discussions at the boarding school where she serves the Dean of DEI. I truly enjoyed it as a science teacher, an educator, and just a lover of reading & books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Anna Mertz's Determination and Success: Building and Populating a Rhino Sanctuary
Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2023
Verified Purchase
How to Raise a Rhino is a very informative and entertaining book! It shows the determination of Anna Mertz to build the Ngare Sergoi Rhino Sanctuary from its conception to success. Poachers were killing so many rhinos, and their numbers were rapidly decreasing. Anna loved all animals but she chose a rhino sanctuary because that is what the person who donated the land wanted. Author Deb Aronson details all the steps of Anna's diligent efforts to secure land and funds and labor for the sanctuary and its ultimate population of many rhinos. But for me, the joy of the book was Aronson's character sketch of Anna Mertz. She was a lady of determination, doing WHATEVER it took to capture rhinos and care for them (even inviting one into her home to care for it)! She often disregarded her own comfort, safety and needs to achieve her goals. I wholeheartedly recommend How to Raise a Rhino for middle school and high school students and for adults.

I loved this story! Deb Aronson did an amazing job - I felt I was there in the rhino sanctuary. This non-fiction book about Anna Merz made me laugh and cry, and it opened my eyes to the travesty happening to important species on the verge of extinction. I fell in love with Samia, the rhino Anna raised from birth. I had no idea how intelligent these African beasts were, and that they could also be gentle and protective of those they care about. Once I started reading, I couldn't put the book down. I enjoyed this story so much!

5.0 out of 5 stars A rhino that captured my heart. Who knew?
Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2023
There's so much I loved about this book: the exotic setting, the woman with moxie, and the rhino who won my heart!
I don't know that I'll ever get on a safari or go to Africa, but this story is so rich in sensory detail that I felt like I was there on the sanctuary with Anna and her rhinos. Anna was one of those women who seemed to drink the most of out of life and didn't let obstacles or nay-sayers stop her. She's inspiring and it's a shame I hadn't heard of her until I read this story. She's the Jane Goodall to the rhino world.
Then there's the rhinos, all with surprisingly unique and distinct personalities. Namely there's Samia who I fell in love with from her antics to her devotion to Anna. Plus, all the pictures cement the story in my mind.
A great read for both my young daughter and myself. This is a keeper!

4.0 out of 5 stars Bildqualität mangelhaft

Ein sehr schönes Buch über ein interessantes Tier und den Tierschutz in Kenia, für jeden Tier-/nashorninteressierten Menschen ein Muss! Der englische Text ist leicht zu lesen. Ein tolles Buch über eine tolle Frau und ihr Engagement im Nashornschutz.
Allerdings....wieder mal, wie häufig in letzter Zeit bei englischsprachigen Naturbüchern zum Billigpreis:
Mangelhafte Fotoqualität, immerhin gibt es in dem Buch einige Fotos, wenn auch nur in Schwarz-Weiß...wann lernen die Verlage es...??? Dann lieber ein paar Euro mehr, aber dafür gute Illustrationen, die dieses Buch einfach verdient hat...Dennoch gebe ich vier Sterne....
