[4] The sanctuary was established in 1992 to help save the vanishing rhinoceros and restore historic wildlife populations, as well as to develop the surrounding community.

[3] In addition to breeding rhinos,[5] the sanctuary also has an environmental education centre, campsites, property chalets, and a restaurant onsite.

[6] This includes giraffes, elands, red hartebeests, gemsboks, zebras, blue wildebeests, springboks, impalas, waterbucks, kudus, cheetahs, black-backed jackals, brown hyenas, leopards,[3] ostriches, antelopes, bat-eared foxes, lynxes, African wild cats,[2] steenboks, duikers, caracals, and small spotted genets.

[10] The Sanctuary's website reports that its long-term goal is to "create an environment in which Black and White Rhino[s] can breed safely"[9] and to reintroduce them into their natural habitats.

[11] After nearly 30 years of Khama being a safe haven, however, two white rhinos were reported by the Botswana Department of Wildlife and National Parks to have been killed by poachers posing as visitors in 2022; the sanctuary denies it was on their property.
