Know about typical rhino behavior. This can help you prevent a charge and recognize that most charging rhinos are trying to scare off intruders. Their keen hearing and bad eyesight make them wary. Rhinos are also more likely to be aggressive in areas where humans disturb or hurt them.
Keep aware of your surroundings. As rhinos often rest during the day, you can get quite close to a rhino without either of you being aware of each other's presence. Watch for signs that you may be approaching a large animal and leave the area if you think one is present.
Give any rhino that you see plenty of room to prevent having the rhino see you as a threat. Watching the rhino from a distance may not be as exciting, but it will probably keep you safer.
Listen to the advice of any guides or individuals familiar with rhino behavior that are with you. Their experience and knowledge will help you avoid the rhino from charging at you.
Get out of the way. With a rhino's speed and size, stopping a charge at close range isn't going to happen. If you can't prevent a charge from starting, your only hope is to get out of the way.
Drive away from a charging rhino if you're in a safari vehicle. The presence of the vehicle or the people in it may be threatening to the rhino or be viewed as entering the rhino's territory.
